A man has been charged with the murder of a missing woman whose body has not been found.

Julie Buckley, 54, from the village of Christchurch in Cambridgeshire, has not been seen since late January and is feared dead.

Karl Hutchings, 47, of Christchurch, has been charged after Cambridgeshire Police declared the case a no-body murder investigation on Friday.

The force said officers "have always aimed to find her alive, but evidence suggests she has come to serious harm".

Hutchings is due to appear before Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Monday facing a murder charge.

Detective Inspector Richard Stott said police have been trying to piece together Ms Buckley's movements before she disappeared.

He appealed for anyone who has seen her in the past few weeks to get in touch.

"We know she has links to places in the surrounding area including March, Manea and Chatteris so I would urge people who live in those areas to consider if they have information that could be of use to our inquiry," he said.

"We are in touch with family of Julie and specially trained officers are keeping them up to date on the police inquiry at this very difficult time."
