THE boyfriend of Joanne Nelson admitted responsibility for her unlawful killing.
As reported in later editions of yesterday's Evening Press, Paul Dyson, 30, appeared at Hull Crown Court for a plea-and-directions hearing.
Dyson, of Hotham Road North, Hull, did not enter any plea to the charge of murder.
His barrister, Gary Burrell, said: "It is important for the court and for the deceased's family to know that Paul Dyson admits the unlawful killing of Joanne Nelson."
The Recorder of Hull, Judge Michael Mettyear, said the Press could report this admission, but otherwise normal reporting restrictions applied.
Jobcentre worker Miss Nelson, 22, disappeared from her home in Hull on St Valentine's Day and her body was found in woodland near Malton five weeks later.
Dyson was remanded in custody and will appear for another plea-and-directions hearing on June 30.
