A man is due to appear in court today, Friday, accused of murdering a woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Medway.

Leah 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.

Clinton Bailey, 35, of Malpas Road, Brockley, south-east London, was charged with her murder last night, Thursday. He will appear before Hendon magistrates, north London.

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.
