A killer branded a sexual deviant by UK prosecutors lured a teenage girl to his home before hanging her and taking photographs of the body to keep as macabre trophies, a court has heard.

A man has appeared before magistrates today charged with the murder of a 17-year-old girl who went missing from her home.

In the UK, police searching for a missing 17-year-old in the West Midlands region of Shropshire have been given more time to question a murder suspect.
