A 48-year-old woman has been charged with murder after a man’s body was found buried in a back garden in Northampton. Fiona Beal was arrested at a hotel in Cumbria on Wednesday night, more than 200 miles from where Northamptonshire police recovered the body of a 42-year-old man who had been missing. The force said forensic officers and specialist search teams, including a cadaver dog, were called to an address in the Kingsley area of Northampton last weekend. There, they located the remains buried in the garden. The body is expected to be taken to Leicester, where it will be forensically examined by a Home Office pathologist. DCI Adam Pendlebury, of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said: “Regrettably, I can confirm that a body has been found in the rear garden of the address. We believe it to be that of a missing 42-year-old male, but formal identification has yet to take place. “Police officers have been conducting house-to-house inquiries in the area over the past couple of days. This remains a complex and challenging investigation and we are appealing for anyone with any information to contact Northamptonshire police on 101, quoting incident number 26 of March 16 2022.” Beal is due to appear at Northampton magistrates court on Monday morning.
