Police fear the remains of 14 year old Charlene Downes, who went missing in November 2003, may also have been ground
up into tile grout.
Iyad Albattikhi, 28, who ran the Funny Boyz takeaway in Blackpool, is charged with her murder.
The co-owner
of the business Mohammed Raveshi, a 49 year old former social services worker and foster father, is charged with assisting in the disposal of her body.
The men appeared at a hearing at Blackpool maistrates court yesterday.
The teenager whose body has never been found left home on Halloween saying she was meeting friends on Blackpool's North Pier.
It was initially thought Charlene, a pupil at St George's Church of England High School, had run away.
Appeals for her to come forward were subsequently posted in missing persons' columns.
However six months after her disappearance police searched freezers at three Blackpool curry houses looking for her remains.
During the investigation some 3000 men were DNA tested and a TV appeal for information was broadcast on the BBC's
Crimewatch show.
Darren Day, Charlene's favourite West End performer, even made a plea for help in finding her.
During the ten minute hearing yesterday the two accused, who were flanked in the secure dock by
four security officers, spoke only to confirm their names and ages and to state that they understood the charges against them. Neither of the defendant's lawyers applied for bail.
