A woman and her husband have admitted burying her parents in the back garden of their home nearly 16 years ago.
Susan Edwards, 55, and her husband Christopher, 57, had denied murdering William and Patricia Wycherley at an earlier court hearing.
Both pleaded guilty to charges of obstructing the coroner in the execution of his duty and theft of a credit balance.
The Wycherleys vanished from their home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in 1998.
Arrested at station
Police launched a murder investigation after two sets of human remains were recovered from the garden of the home in Blenheim Close, Forest Town, last October.
Post-mortem examinations showed both had been shot.
Nottinghamshire Police said DNA testing had formally identified the remains as those of Mr and Mrs Wycherley, who would now be 101 and 79 respectively.
The accused, of no fixed address, were arrested at St Pancras International station in London on 30 October last year.
At a hearing at Nottingham Crown Court in February the couple each pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder between 1 and 5 May 1998.
They are due to go on trial for murder on 4 June.
