The body of Melanie Wallner, 32, was discovered hidden among rubbish outside a suburban home in Cobham, Surrey, last Saturday afternoon.

Her husband, Peter Wallner, 33, of no fixed address, will appear at Woking Magistrates' Court.

Wallner, who was stopped by officers at Gatwick Airport on Wednesday, is charged with her murder as well as preventing the lawful and decent burial of her body.

Mrs Wallner's body was discovered only when a human foot was spotted protruding from the bin at the semi-detached house.

Detective Chief Inspector Maria Woodall, of Surrey Police, said: "Although someone has been charged with Melanie Wallner's murder, the exact time of her death is still unclear.

"Therefore, I remain keen to hear from anyone we haven't spoken to who has seen her since August 2006 or who knew her well around that time.

"The public response to this investigation has been very helpful and I would ask people with any information that could be useful to still get in touch.

"Police activity in Cobham will shortly be coming to a close, so I thank local residents for their support and patience this week."
