A COLNE man has been remanded in custody charged with murdering a teenage mum from Manchester.

Marc Neale, 23, of Blucher Street, was arrested at his home last Wednesday and appeared before Salford magistrates at the weekend.

He was remanded in custody to appear at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.

The body of 19-year-old Linda Neale, from Higher Broughton, was discovered by children playing in Cliff Woods, a Salford beauty spot.

She was last seen pushing her two-year-old son David in a buggy around the Higher Broughton area in August this year and her partially clothed body was found the next day.
