All three were remanded in custody until a trial set for next month but Schofield has now admitted killing Mr Easton (50), of Bonhill, Dunbartonshire.

The body of the victim, who had recently moved to Conisbrough, was found on farmland in Everton, north Nottinghamshire.

Dowling and Duffy will stand trial next month and Schofield will be sentenced after the hearing which starts at Nottingham Crown Court on August 12.
