15 August 2009
A 50-YEAR-OLD Wallington man has been charged with the murder of a Coulsdon woman whose body was found in woodlands in Surrey.
Linda Casey's remains were discovered four days after her family reported her missing on Monday.
Fingerprint matches were used to identify 54-year-old, who was found in Banstead Woods, on Thursday.
Her abandoned car was retrieved in nearby Banstead, which has led police to believe she knew her attacker.
Gardener Peter Ling, from south London, was arrested on the A39 in Somerset on Wednesday.
He was taken to Woking police station, where he was questioned.
Ling appeared at South East Surrey Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on 1 September.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the cause of death.
