The couple has a young son who is about two years old, who is now an orphan.

Elliott appeared in Basingstoke District Court today and was charged with two murders.

During the brief hearing, the 52-year-old short fat man spoke just to confirm his name, date of birth and address.

The unshaven Elliott waved to his younger brother who was sitting in the public gallery.

He was remanded in custody awaiting trial and will appear in Winchester Criminal Court on Friday.

Jeff is a father’s justice protester. He is famous for climbing the gantry on the M25 in Batman.

The “cute hooligan” unfolded a banner with a photo of his eight-year-old daughter, and stopped thousands of cars.

At the time he said: “I can’t describe how it feels to be unable to see her.

“If I take her away, I will go to jail for kidnapping, but my ex-partner can do it, and it’s good. What’s the reason?”

Just after 2 o’clock in the morning on Sunday, the police were called to his semi-detached bungalow after receiving the report.

They found the bodies of Jeff and Michelle at home, and Elliott was arrested shortly afterwards.

Jeff’s brother Frank paid tribute to his father outside the house yesterday.

He said: “I planned to come down to visit him yesterday. When I saw many police officers and blue lights and roads were blocked, I immediately knew this was my brother’s house.

“I want to know what will happen to his son-he is only two or three years old, and he is my biggest concern.

“Geoffrey and I have always disagreed, but as brothers and family, we have helped each other in the past. I knew if I asked him to do me a favor, he would do it.

“Geoffrey was repairing the bicycle, and there was a small herd of sheep somewhere nearby, even though I had never been there.

“Now I must go and tell my father who lives in London, but I still don’t know anything about what happened.

“I just want to know what happened to this little boy. I want to get justice for what happened.”
