FamilyA man charged with murdering missing Reanne Coulson after a body was found in woodland has appeared in court.
Mohammed Durnion, 42, appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court charged with 34-year-old Ms Coulson's murder. She has been missing since 21 May.
Another man, Adam Moore, 38, was charged with assisting an offender. Both men were remanded in custody with Mr Durnion due to appear at Warwick Crown Court on 1 July and Mr Moore at the same court on 24 July.
A body was discovered in Binley Woods, on the outskirts of the city, on Friday. Formal identification has yet to take place but West Midlands Police said they believed the body to be that of Ms Coulson.
Det Supt Jim Munro said on Friday the force had been focused on doing all it could to find Ms Coulson.
"We've charged a man with murder and another for assisting an offender, but our inquiries to establish exactly what happened and why are ongoing," he said.
On Thursday, the West Midlands force said a 53-year-old man who had previously been arrested on suspicion of murder and kidnap had since been released on bail with strict conditions.
Ms Coulson's family had made appeals for help in the search for missing Reanne.
Her older brother Ashley thanked the public for their help and asked for the family be left alone to grieve.
