A 47-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Julie Buckley, of Christchurch, Cambridgeshire.

Police said Karl Hutchings, of The Hill, Christchurch, Cambridgeshire, has appeared before magistrates in Peterborough and is due to appear at Cambridge Crown Court on Wednesday.

They said a 49-year-old man and 42-year-old woman, both from Christchurch, have also been arrested, on suspicion of assisting an offender, and are in custody.

A "no-body" murder investigation was launched on Friday after the disappearance of Ms Buckley in late January.
