A man has appeared in court accused of murdering Leah Questin, the woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Medway.

Ms Questin's remains were found inside the case on farmland off Buckland Road, Cliffe, on Thursday, September 24. A dog walker made the discovery while walking near the Old Pond.

IT specialist Clinton Bailey, 35, of Malpas Road, Brockley, south east London, was charged with her murder on Thursday night. He was remanded in custody by Hendon magistrates in north London on Friday.

Care worker Ms Questin, 37, was reported missing overnight on September 16/17 after last being seen at her home in Sneyd Road, Cricklewood, north London.

Medway police officers began the investigation but it was taken over by the Metropolitan Police when it was realised that Philippines-born Ms Questin lived in London.
