| (35 minutes later) | |
| A 28-year-old man has been charged with the murder of missing teenager Kayleigh Haywood. | |
| The 15-year-old, from Measham, Leicestershire, has not been seen since Friday evening when she was dropped off outside Ibstock Community College. | |
| Stephen Beadman, of George Avenue, Ibstock, has been charged with murder and one count of rape. | |
| Luke Harlow, 27, of George Avenue, Ibstock, has been charged with grooming, Leicestershire Police said. | |
| He has also been charged with two counts of sexual activity with a child. | |
| Both men have been remanded into custody and will appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Friday. | |
| Earlier, Kayleigh's family told how they had been left "devastated" and "heartbroken" after a body believed to be the missing teenager's was found late on Wednesday night. | |
| It was removed from undergrowth near a lake on Thursday but has not yet been formally identified, although Kayleigh's family were informed of the discovery. | |
| In a statement, they described the family as "grief-stricken", adding: "There are no words to express the way we are feeling." | |
| People in Kayleigh's home village of Measham said they had been left "numb" by news of the find. | |
| A post-mortem examination to establish the cause of her death is yet to be held. |
