Man Due In Court After Remains Of Bomb Disposal Expert Found
A man will appear in court after the discovery of human remains thought to be those of a bomb disposal expert who disappeared two years ago.
Sussex police said the remains, which were found on land in Hampshire Hill, are unidentified but are believed to belong to Mark Manning.
Mr Manning, 54, was last seen in April 2014. His family have been informed of the developments.
He worked for the Mines Advisory Group, a charity backed by Diana Princess of Wales, which removes landmines in the world’s poorest countries, having also served in the British Army.
Stewart Robertson, 50, of St Aubyns Road in Brighton, will appear at Crawley Magistrates' Court today.
39-year-old Colin Gale was charged with Mr Manning’s murder in January.
He will stand trial on July 4.
