A MAN has been charged with murder after human remains were found following a weeks-long search for a missing man.

Daniel Coleman, 43, vanished last month from St Austell, in Cornwall.

A huge search was launched after he was last seen in the town at 12pm on Sunday, June 1.

It is now believed Mr Coleman was killed on a date between June 2 and July 7 after human remains were found.

Cops have charged James Desborough with his murder.

The 39-year-old is in custody and is due to appear before magistrates in Bodmin tomorrow.

Mr Coleman’s next-of-kin have been informed.

Investigations are still ongoing by specialist forensic officers at a site in Sticker.

A woman, in her 30s, from Newquay, was also arrested last week on suspicion of murder.

She remains on police bail while inquiries continue.

Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said: “We are continuing with a forensic examination of the scene which is being carried out slowly and methodically.

“Our teams of officers and staff are being assisted by the National Crime Agency expert group and Home Office-approved scientists.

“A significant police presence will remain in the Sticker area as we progress our inquiries expeditiously.

“I continue to ask that people do not speculate on social media about this case.”
