Two men charged with murdering of oil executive Carole Waugh were remanded in custody.

Rakesh Bhayani, 40, and Nicholas Kutner, 47, who have already been charged with fraud offences linked to the disappearance of the 50-year-old, appeared by video-link at Croydon Magistrates’ Court.

Unemployed Bhayani, of Chamberlayne Avenue, Wembley, north west London, is already due to appear in court next month on three charges of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation worth about £280,000, following transactions associated with Miss Waugh’s identity.

Kutner, of no fixed address, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder and kidnap on August 1.

He also faces two charges relating to renting Miss Waugh’s property at Tressard Court in Marylebone, central London, and one of unlawfully withdrawing funds from her bank account.

He is also facing a fraud charge after being accused of pretending to be Chris Waugh, Miss Waugh’s brother, in a bid to sell her London home.
