A 40-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of a 17-year-old boy whose body was found after being missing for three weeks.

Maria Chandler, of Lancaster Road, Great Yarmouth, will appear in custody at the town's magistrates court on Monday.

Detectives said earlier that they had found the body of Simon Everitt, of Great Yarmouth, who vanished on June 7.

Police said his remains were found at nearby Mautby.

The discovery came after specialists spent more than a day searching a field and woodland.

"I am as satisfied as I can be at this stage that the body we have located in Mautby is that of Simon Everitt," said Detective Chief Inspector Steve Strong, who is heading the inquiry.

Police have not revealed how Simon died but said post-mortem tests would be carried out.

A 40-year-old woman had been arrested and questioned about Simon's disappearance.

Two men aged 24 and 19 have also been arrested and released on bail without charge pending further investigation.

Police said they had information which led them to believe that Simon had been murdered.

A spokesman said officers launched a major inquiry following a call from a member of the public on June 15.

Mr Strong said then that he had "very real concerns" about the teenager.

Simon's father, Vince Everitt, had earlier appealed for his son to get in touch.

Chandler is charged with the murder of Simon Everitt in Mautby between June 6 and June 28
