Brother Admits Manslaughter Of Gemma McCluskie
The brother of former EastEnders actor Gemma McCluskie has pleaded guilty to her manslaughter.
35-year-old Tony McCluskie claims to have suffered a "loss of control" when he killed her on 1 March.
Prosecutors are still waiting for a medical report to establish how she died.
His father, Tony senior, watched from the back of the court as McCluskie appeared at the Old Bailey by videolink from Belmarsh prison. He pleaded not guilty to murder then guilty to manslaughter.
Judge Gerald Gordon said a trial to decide whether it was murder or manslaughter would go ahead on 14 January before Mr Justice Fulford.
An expert on amnesia is expected to be called by the defence.
