Capital pilot is charged with murdering millionaress wife

AN AIRLINE pilot from Edinburgh has been charged with murdering his millionairess wife.

Police investigating the disappearance of Joanna Brown, 46, from Ascot, Berkshire, last night found a body in an area of Windsor Great Park.

Formal identification has yet to take place.

Mrs Brown's husband Robert, who is originally from Edinburgh, appeared at Slough Magistrates' Court yesterday charged with her murder and was remanded in custody until Monday, when he will appear for a bail hearing.

Police have spent the past few days scouring the densely wooded park for her remains.

She was reported missing at 8am on Monday. Officers forced entry into her sprawling country mansion, which was empty at the time, and a subsequent search led them to believe she had been attacked.

The couple's marital home, Tun Cottage, was run as an award-winning bed and breakfast by Mrs Brown after they separated.
