A man arrested in connection with the murder and kidnap of oil executive Carole Waugh is due to appear in court charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit fraud.

Nicholas Kutner, 47, of no fixed abode, is accused of pretending to be Chris Waugh, Ms Waugh's brother, in a bid to sell her London home.

He is currently in custody and will appear today by video link at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court.

Kutner also faces two charges relating to renting her property at Tressard Court and a fourth of unlawfully withdrawing funds from the 50-year-old's bank account.

The Metropolitan Police said he has been bailed to return to a police station on August 25 relating to his arrest on suspicion of murder and kidnap last Wednesday.

Miss Waugh, originally from Durham but living in London, had not been seen by her family since mid-April.

Her body was found with a single stab wound inside a car at the garage in Lime Court, New Malden, south-west London, last Thursday night.
