Leeton school cleaner Vincent Stanford, 25, has pleaded guilty to the murder of Stephanie Scott, 26, in the NSW Supreme Court today.
Stanford pleaded guilty to the charges of aggravated sexual intercourse without consent and murder via video link from from Sydney’s Long Bay jail.
His plea comes just six weeks after Marcus Stanford, his twin brother, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to the murder in Griffith Local Court.
A popular drama and English teacher, Ms Scott disappeared on April 5, 2015, just a week before her wedding to doting partner Aaron Leeson-Woolley.
She visited the school grounds to ensure her relief teacher would have tools required to fill-in while she would be on her honeymoon.
It was Easter Sunday - and the last day she would be seen alive.
An email sent from her work computer at 12.59pm would be her last known contact.
While her family and fiance begged for information, Ms Scott's disappearance was more sinister than they could have ever believed.
Police soon discovered that Mr Stanford was also at school on the public holiday. He was not rostered on to work.
