Murder suspect accused of killing mum-of-four prepares for court date in Sheffield

Gary Arthur Allen, aged 46, is due to appear at Sheffield Crown Court next month over the murder of 38-year-old Alena Grlakova, from Rotherham.

Alena’s naked body was found on land just off Taylors Lane, Parkgate, four months after she vanished on Boxing Day 2018.

A post-mortem examination revealed that she died as a result of neck injuries.

Alena, a mum-of-four from Slovakia, moved to Rotherham in 2008.
