A TEENAGER was due in court today accused of murdering the British schoolteacher Joanne Clarke at an exclusive Caribbean holiday resort. The 18-year-old local man has confessed to killing Miss Clarke and American Lori Fogleman, 32, whose body was found nearby on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, according to police.

Miss Clarke's body was found covered in leaves and dumped in bushes four weeks ago after she disappeared while sunbathing on a remote beach. The 24-year-old had been strangled. She had been alone on the secluded beach after a friend, looking after a 10-year-old boy, left to take him home.
