A man is set to make his plea this week after being accused of brutally murdering 82-year-old Palmira Silva.
Nicholas Salvador, 25, is accused of beheading the 82-year-old great-grandmother in her garden in Nightingale Road on Thursday, September 4.
Mr Salvador, of Gilda Avenue, Ponders End, was refused bail at his first hearing on September 9, 2014, where he did not appear.
He will now make his plea at the Old Bailey on Friday, April 24, after a series of pre-trial hearings.
