Detective chief inspector Laura Miller, of Avon & Somerset Police’s major crime investigation team, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised a murder charge against Nigel Lubban.

“Specially trained officers are supporting the family who have been informed of this significant development as part of our investigation.

“This is an incredibly upsetting time for the family, and our thoughts remain with them, and they continue to ask for privacy, and we would therefore ask people to be respectful of those wishes.”
