A MAN has appeared in court charged with the murder of Coventry woman Reanne Coulson.
Mohammed Durnion, 42, appeared before Coventry magistrates on Saturday (June 28) and was remanded in custody ahead of a preliminary hearing at Warwick Crown Court on Tuesday (July 1).
On Friday, officers searching for Reanne – who had been missing since May 21 – found a body in Binley Woods.
Formal identification is yet to take place but the family of 34-year-old Reanne have been informed.
A second man has also been charged with assisting an offender.
Adam Moore, 38, from Coventry, also appeared before the court and was remanded in custody ahead of a hearing at Warwick Crown Court on July 24.
Det Supt Jim Munro, from West Midlands Police’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 enquiries to establish exactly what happened and why are ongoing.
“We’ll continue to update and support Reanne’s family.”
Reanne’s older brother Ashley thanked the public for everything they did to help find Reanne. He has asked that the family are left alone to grieve at this difficult time.
