A judge has urged a pub chef convicted of murdering his former partner 11 years ago to reveal what he did and where her remains might be found so she can be laid to rest.
Darren Osment, 41, has finally been brought to justice for killing mother-of-four Claire Holland, 32, in Bristol in June 2012, following a lengthy undercover policing investigation.
Ms Holland, whose body has never been recovered, was last seen leaving the Seamus O’Donnell’s pub in the city centre on the evening of June 6.
