Tentative trial date for man charged with Vernon woman’s murder

A man accused of murdering a Vernon woman in England this week, was back in court today.

A provisional trial date for 23-year-old Jack Sepple was set for September, and he’ll return to court March 7 for plea hearing.

Sepple is accused of killing his girlfriend, 19-year-old Ashley Wadsworth of Vernon in Chelmsford, England on Tuesday. Reports say she was stabbed to death.

The two had reportedly been together in Britain since November after meeting online. Ashley was visiting the country on a six-month tourist visa and reportedly was going to fly home to Vernon this week.

Sepple was remanded in custody to next appear in court March 7 for a plea hearing.
