Reanne Coulson: Body found in woods confirmed as missing woman
Police have confirmed a body found during a search of a wooded area is that of missing Reanne Coulson. The 34-year-old woman was last seen in Coventry in May and concerns were raised by her family after she failed to make contact with them on her birthday on 17 June. Following her disappearance, a major investigation was launched by West Midlands Police. The force said that "as a result of information received", a woman's body was found on 27 June in Binley Woods near Coventry. On Tuesday, the body was formally identified as that of Ms Coulson, who was from the city. "We have spoken to Reanne's family, and are continuing to support them. We are carrying out further inquiries to establish how Reanne died," the force said in a statement. Ms Coulson was last seen leaving a food bank on Raglan Street in Coventry late in the evening of 21 May. A 42-year-old man, Mohammed Durnion, appeared in court last week charged with murder. And a second suspect, 38-year-old Adam Moore, has been charged with assisting an offender. Both defendants have been remanded in custody to appear at Warwick Crown Court later this month. Detective Superintendent Jim Munro, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are continuing to do all we can to support Reanne's family at this awful time, and our thoughts remain firmly with them. "The investigation is continuing and I still really want to hear from anyone with information that might help us as we continue to work tirelessly to get answers for Reanne's family."
