LONDON - TWO men are due to appear in court on Monday in connection with the death of a Lithuanian woman whose severed head was found on a Scottish beach.

The Lithuanian men, aged 19 and 40, who have not been named, are set to appear at Forfar Sheriff Court, police said. The charges have not yet been revealed.

The head of Jolanta Bledaite was found in a plastic bag by two young sisters on a beach at Arbroath, in eastern Scotland, last Tuesday. Two hands were also found on the foreshore.

Ms Bledaite was a migrant worker, who had been living in the nearby town of Brechin. She had been reported missing by her employer.

A suitcase containing body parts was found by police divers on Saturday in Arbroath Harbour.

Tests will be carried out, but police said they believe they are those of Ms Bledaite. -- REUTERS
