THE former boyfriend of aspiring model and Brockenhurst college student Emily Longley, pictured, goes on trial for her murder next month.

Elliot Turner, 20, from Bournemouth will be in the dock alongside his parents Leigh and Anita Turner who are charged with perverting the course of justice.

The trial starts at Winchester Crown Court on April 16.

Emily was 17 when she was found dead at the Turner family home in Queenswood Avenue on May 7 last year.

The teenager, who was brought up in New Zealand, was staying with her grandparents in Bournemouth while studying at Brockenhurst College.

Elliot Turner is currently in custody and his parents are on bail.
