A man has been charged with murdering a woman whose body was found nine days after she went missing.

Police said extensive searches and appeals were launched to find Mariann Borocz after she vanished on 14 December.

Her body was discovered at a property in Bolton, Greater Manchester, on Christmas Eve.

Christopher Barlow, 61, from Bolton, has been charged with her murder and has been remanded in custody ahead of an appearance before magistrates on Thursday.

Greater Manchester Police said Ms Borocz's family are being supported by specialist officers.

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Platten thanked those who spoke to officers and shared the missing person appeals.

"On behalf of the entire investigation team, our condolences remain with Mariann's family as they try to come to terms with her death," he said.

"Our investigation is moving at pace, and we are continuing to work hard to build a full timeline of events leading up to Mariann's death.

"As part of our investigation, we are once again appealing for additional information from the local community."
