A man has been charged with murder after a woman’s body was found in Sheffield.
Emily Sanderson, 48, was discovered at a house in the Hillsborough area on Tuesday.
Mark Nicholls, 43, was charged with her murder on Saturday after being arrested the day before, South Yorkshire Police said.
He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court on Monday.
“Emily’s body was discovered inside a property on Crofton Avenue at around midday on Tuesday 30 May. A forensic post-mortem examination determined she died of head injuries,” said a police statement.
“A 40-year-old woman, arrested on Wednesday 31 May on suspicion of assisting offenders, remains on police bail.”
Ms Sanderson was reported missing on 25 May and had not been heard from since 19 May, Detective Chief Inspector Andrea Bowell said.
The force has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
Ms Bowell added: “The property at Crofton Avenue, where Emily’s body was found, has undergone painstaking and extensive forensic examination.
“This is necessary to gather as much evidence as possible to help us understand exactly what happened.”
