Two more people have been arrested by police investigating the disappearance of a 54-year-old woman.

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 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.

Police said officers were searching in Christchurch and nearby March.

They urged anyone with information to get in touch.
