Guang Hui Cao, 30, of Castle Close, Morpeth, is accused of murdering Xi Zhou and her boyfriend, Zhen Xing Yang, both 25, according to Northumbria Police.

Guang, who spoke through an interpreter to confirm his name and age, was remanded in custody during a hearing at Newcastle Magistrates' Court. He is due to appear before the city's crown court on 10 November.
