The brother of former EastEnders actress Gemma McCluskie, who was found dead in a canal, has accepted responsibility for killing her, the Old Bailey heard.
Tony McCluskie, 35, will now face trial on the issue of whether her death was murder or manslaughter, a judge said.
McCluskie, who lived in Hackney, east London, with his 29-year-old sister, was due to face trial next month. However, the date was moved to January 14 next year after the discovery of Ms McCluskie's head in Regent's Canal near her home on September 9.
