A 17-year-old youth is to appear in court in London today charged with the murder of an 81-year-old clergyman whose severed body parts were found buried in a sports bag near a police station in East Sussex.
Rev Ronald Glazebrook (81) disappeared from his home in Dane Road, St Leonards, East Sussex, on April 30th.
The youth is charged with murdering the man then concealing his body in a shallow grave in woodland, 500 yards from Hastings police station.
Another 17-year-old is charged with helping the teenager conceal the body. Both are due to appear before magistrates at Eastbourne, police said.
Rev Glazebrook was retired but gave sermons and was a helper at Christ Church in St Leonards.
He was last seen walking his dog near his home more than a fortnight ago.
