Human remains found in a field have been confirmed as that of missing woman Julie Buckley - last seen alive eight months ago.

Karl Hutchings, 48, pleaded guilty at Cambridge Crown Court last week to the murder of Ms Buckley, but at the time of his plea, her body had yet to be found.

Police launched a "no body" murder investigation back in February after finding blood at her home in Christchurch, near Wisbech - and on Wednesday, police confirmed that remains found in Wimblington, Cambridgeshire , were in fact those of the 55-year-old.

It came after Hutchings' defence team gave information to police about a potential burial site in the area.
