Video link for Carr's court date

A woman accused of perverting the course of justice following the disappearance of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman was today answering questions via a prison video link as a crown court judge hears details of her case for the first time.

Maxine Carr, 25, of Soham will not make the journey to Peterborough Crown Court because authorities want to avoid a repeat of the ugly scenes which surrounded her appearance before magistrates in Peterborough a week ago.
