Police officers searching for missing Reanne Coulson have found a body, with a man also charged with murder.

The 34-year-old was last seen in Coventry in May, with her family becoming increasingly concerned she failed to make contact with them on her birthday on June 17.

West Midlands Police said officers searching for Ms Coulson found a body in Binley Woods on Friday afternoon.

A force spokesman said formal identification will need to take place, but the family of Ms Coulson have been informed.

Mohammed Durnion was arrested as part of the investigation into her disappearance and has now been charged with murder.

The 42-year-old will appear at Coventry Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.

A second man has also been charged with assisting an offender, police said.

Adam Moore, 38, from Coventry, will appear before the same court on Saturday.

Detective Superintendent Jim Munro, from the force’s major crime unit, said: “We’ve been focused on doing all we can to find Reanne and our thoughts remain with her family at this deeply distressing time.

“While formal identification still needs to take place, we do believe it is Reanne.

“We’ve charged a man with murder, and another for assisting an offender, but our inquiries to establish exactly what happened and why are ongoing.

“We’ll continue to update and support Reanne’s family.”

Ms Coulson’s older brother Ashley would like to thank the public for everything they have done to help find her, police said. He has asked that the family are left alone to grieve.
