Stuart Hazell, the man accused of murdering schoolgirl Tia Sharp will appear in court on Monday.
A body believed to be the remains of the 12-year-old was found hidden at her grandmother Christine Sharp's terraced house more than a week after she was reported missing. Sharp's partner Hazell, 37, was later charged with her murder, following a manhunt.
Sharp was also arrested on suspicion of murder and freed on bail.

Hazell will appear via video link at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court, south London.
Despite visiting her grandmother's property in New Addington, south London, on several occasions, investigators only discovered Tia's body on Friday evening.
Police have not revealed where it was stowed but officers were seen taking a ladder into the house, sparking suggestions it may have been concealed in the loft.
Hazell was arrested hours later in the south London borough of Merton after he was apparently spotted by a schoolgirl who saw him buying alcohol in an off-licence.
Next-door neighbour Paul Meehan, 39, was detained by detectives on suspicion of assisting an offender. He was also bailed pending further inquiries.
It remains unclear how Tia died and a post-mortem examination on the body was paused on Saturday night and is expected to recommence this week.
Scotland Yard said: "Although officers await formal identification of a body found at The Lindens on Friday 10 August, the victim is named in the murder charge as 12-year-old Tia Sharp."
