A woman accused of murder and perverting the course of justice after the body of a man was found in the back of a van has appeared in court.
Harinder Kaur, 39, assisted by a Punjabi interpreter, was addressed by a judge at Leicester Crown Court on Wednesday.
Kaur, of Sutton Dene in Hounslow, west London, was charged with the offences on Tuesday.
Leicestershire Police said the body of a man in his 30s was found in a Ford Transit van in a car park in Garden Street, Leicester, at about 5.30pm on 27 May when a member of the public reported concerns about the condition of the vehicle.
The van was registered to a west London address.

Prosecution counsel Elizabeth Dodds told Judge Timothy Spencer KC a request to transfer the case from Leicester Crown Court to the Old Bailey in London, because the crime scene and many witnesses are in the city, had been successful.
The judge told Kaur: "You face a murder charge, the most serious charge."
He later said: "Your case is going to go to the Central Criminal Court, otherwise known as the Old Bailey, and I am told you will be taken there on Friday.
"You can go down now, thank you."
The case, initially investigated by the East Midlands Special Operations Unit with help from Leicestershire Police, was transferred to the Metropolitan Police.
Officers issued a plea on Tuesday for anyone with information, doorbell or dashcam footage that may have captured a white Ford Transit with the registration BF18 VNV travelling to Leicester from London to contact police.
