Two men have been charged with murder after the body of a man was found in a suitcase in woods, the Met Police said.

Joshua Miller, 32, of Kingfisher Court, Wandsworth, has been charged with murder and preventing a lawful burial, while Jamie Cooper, 27, of the same address, has been charged with preventing a lawful burial.

It comes as officers were called to a block of flats on Kingfisher Court, off Queensmere Road in Wandsworth, at 22:55 BST on Thursday. No-one was found at the property, but a search led officers to believe someone had been harmed there so an investigation was launched.

On Friday, officers attended a wooded area in Borstal, Kent, where a man’s body was found.

Both men have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Formal identification has not yet taken place, but police believe they know who the man was and have informed his next of kin, who are being supported by specialist officers.

The Met said the victim and the two men charged were known to each other.
