Police in England investigating the death of landscape architect Joanna Yeates have charged a 32-year-old man with her murder.
Vincent Tabak, a Dutch engineer, lived next door to Ms Yeates in Bristol.
He will appear at Bristol Magistrates Court tomorrow.
The decision to charge him came exactly four weeks after the body of Ms Yeates was found covered in snow in a country lane.
Last night, Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones, who led the inquiry, said: ‘This evening we have charged Vincent Tabak with the murder of Joanna Yeates.
‘I would like to pay tribute to Jo's family and Greg (Reardon) for their assistance and dignity in the most difficult of circumstances.
‘Their support to us has been invaluable.
‘I would also like to thank the general public for their help and the information they continue to provide to the investigation, and the residents of Canynge Road for their co-operation and patience.’
Mr Tabak was arrested on Thursday.
His arrest was the second to be made by detectives since Ms Yeates's body was found dumped in a lane on the outskirts of Bristol on Christmas Day.
Her landlord, Chris Jefferies, 66, was arrested on 30 December and questioned for three days on suspicion of murder before being released on bail.
The university graduate disappeared on Friday 17 December after going for Christmas drinks with colleagues at her architectural firm.
She was reported her missing by her boyfriend Greg Reardon, 27, after he returned to Bristol on 19 December following a weekend away visiting family in Sheffield.
