A man has appeared in court charged with murdering a 35-year-old woman.
Baldeep Singh (38), did not enter a plea when he appeared at Leicester Magistrates' Court Monday morning.
He is charged in connection with the death of Amandeep Kaur, pictured, whose body was found in a house in Dovedale Road on Friday afternoon.
Singh spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth, which he did through a Punjabi translator. He appeared in the dock dressed in a grey tracksuit.
During the short hearing, no details were given about the case.
The magistrates sent the case to Leicester Crown Court, with a pre-trial hearing due to take place next month.
Singh is in custody. Guy Carter, representing Singh, told the court he would be making a bail application at the crown court within 48 hours.
Ms Kaur's body was discovered after police they received a call to a domestic disturbance.
Officers investigating Ms Kaur's death have said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
Over the weekend, police divers were searching the River Soar in connection with the inquiry.
Leicestershire Police is appealing for anyone who knew Ms Kaur to contact them, as they try to piece together her final movements.
A police spokesperson said: "Detectives would like to hear from anyone who may have known Amandeep and who may have worked with her as part of their inquiries to trace her movements in the days leading to her death."
