Two people have been charged with murder after human remains were found in a park in south London.

The remains, which were found in Croydon last Tuesday, were later identified as those of 38-year-old Sarah Mayhew.

A 44-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman have now been charged.

Gemma Saundercock, of Holmbury Grove, Croydon and Steve Samson of Burnell Road, Sutton were arrested on Saturday.

They will appear in custody at Bromley Magistrates' Court today, charged with murder and the prevention of the lawful and decent burial of a body.

Samson has also been charged with three counts of making indecent images of a child. These charges are unconnected with the murder investigation at this stage.

The family of Ms Mayhew have been informed of the charges.
