The man accused of murdering a Renton mother of three pleaded not guilty Wednesday morning.

John Charlton, 37, was charged with the murder of 40-year-old Ingrid Lyne. Police say he killed her April 8 and dismembered her body after going on a date with her to a Seattle Mariners game.

Charlton was arraigned in King County Superior Court. His next hearing is scheduled for May 11.

Lyne’s remains were found in a recycling bin the next day in the Central District. Other remains were found on on April 15 and April 18.

Charlton is also charged with theft of a motor vehicle for allegedly taking Lyne’s vehicle.
