A musician has pleaded guilty to the murder of 18-year-old student Bobbi-Anne McLeod.
Cody Ackland, 24, entered the plea during a plea and trial preparation hearing at Plymouth Crown Court on Tuesday.
Ackland spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth and admit murdering the teenager on a date between November 19 and 23.
Prosecutor Richard Posner asked for the sentencing hearing to be adjourned due to outstanding pathology reports to be served.
