A man has been charged with murder after a missing person was found dead in a derelict building.
Junior Ryan Coleman, 43, was reported missing on August 20 and his body was found in Brockley Road, Lewisham, southeast London, a month later, on September 19.
A post-mortem examination revealed he died from a blunt force trauma to his head and a murder probe was launched the following day.
Daniel Watkis, 39, of Hackney, was arrested on Thursday and charged on Friday before being remanded in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court.
He is due to appear at the Old Bailey on October 24.
Mr Coleman’s family are being supported by specialist officers.
Detective Chief Inspector Sam Townsend, leading the investigation, said: ‘Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Junior during this difficult time.
‘My team are working at pace to establish the exact circumstances of Junior’s disappearance and his murder.
‘We’re appealing to anyone who knew Junior to come forward, especially if you had seen him in the summer months.
‘If you have any information, no matter how small it may seem, please get in touch. It could be crucial to our investigation.’
Maresca’s side suffered a second consecutive defeat in the league (Picture: Getty)
Enzo Maresca has insisted there was ‘nothing different’ in Chelsea co-owner Behdad Egbhali and other senior figures entering the players’ dressing room immediately after defeat to Brighton.
Chelsea were in control of Saturday afternoon’s Premier League clash thanks to Enzo Fernandez’z first-half header.
But the Blues fell apart after a second-half red card shown to Trevoh Calobah with Danny Welbeck equalising after 77 minutes.
Brighton scored twice in added time to seal a huge victory with Chelsea suffering a second consecutive defeat in the league.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Maresca explained there was nothing unusual about their presence, insisting nothing was said to the Chelsea players.
‘They have been inside the changing-room, like always,’ said Maresca.
‘We have an office inside the changing-room, where after every game, we sit and we talk about the game. But they did not say anything to the players.
‘It was nothing completely different compared to the rest of the games.’

Chelsea have slipped to eighth in the table with pressure on to improve results ahead of the Champions League clash with Benfica before the visit of Liverpool next weekend.
The Blues are already without Cole Plamer until after the October international break with his side opting to pull him out of the team to recover from a groin injury.
Maresca has a major crisis on his hands in defence too. Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo both missed the Brighton game and will miss the next three games, joining long-term absentee Levi Colwill on the sidelines.
Chalobah will also be unavailable for the Liverpool game after his red card against Brighton – Chelsea’s second in as many games after Robert Sanchez was given his marching orders at Old Trafford.

Axel Disasi will not be considered for selection and will remain frozen out of the Chelsea squad despite their injury crisis in defence.
The Blues suffered an early blow to their plans for their season when they lost Levi Colwill to a major knee injury in August with the England international expected to miss most of the season.
Ahead of a crucial run of games starting at home to Brighton on Saturday, Chelsea will be without Tosin Adarbaioyo and Wesley Fofana with the pair also set to miss the Champions League game against Benfica midweek and the trip to Liverpool next weekend.
Fofana is not available for 12 days with Chelsea following concussion protocols following his head injury in the Carabao Cup win over Lincoln City on Tuesday.
Tosin meanwhile is nursing a calf injury which rule him out until after the October international break.

Another centre-half in Benoit Badiashile is still to play this season, back in training after injury but still not fit to return to action.
Trevoh Chalobah has been in impressive form this season while 19-year-old Josh Acheampong is expected to be available tomorrow after missing the Lincoln game through illness.

Disasi, a player Chelsea signed for £39million from Monaco just two years ago, spent the summer exiled from the first-team, part of the club’s ‘bomb squad’ deemed surplus to requirements.
Maresca has not seen or spoken to either player this season and both have been kept entirely separate from the team, training and eating alone and at different times to the rest of the squad.
Tosin has joined Chelsea’s injury list (Picture: Getty)
Even with four centre-halves unavailable for a crucial week, there are no plans for Disasi’s situation to change.
‘There is not any information from the club to consider that, so at the moment he is not an option,’ Maresca told a press conference on Friday when asked about the possibility of the Frenchman returning to the fold.
Disasi spent the second-half of last season out on loan at Aston Villa but despite interest from other Premier League sides failed to secure another move away from west London in the summer transfer window.
The youngest Beckham has just joined Instagram (Picture: Karwai Tang/WireImage)
Harper Beckham has joined Instagram but it seems her big brother, Brooklyn, hasn’t followed her yet amid the family fallout.
The famous family has been caught in a rift for much of the year, with Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz reportedly not speaking to his siblings or parents.
A source told Metro previously that his brothers, Romeo and Cruz, had ‘trolled’ and even ‘blocked him and Nicola’ — and now fans are scrutinising Harper’s Instagram.
Her biography brands her ‘Your fav blonde’ as well as ‘Yours Truly’, with a shout out to her homes in London, Los Angeles, and Miami.
The Daily Mail reported that she follows her other siblings and parents but not Brooklyn, 26.
Her family has, of course, immediately followed her
But so far, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz haven’t (Picture: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
None of Harper’s posts will be publicly visible until she’s 18, unless her parents change the settings.
Instagram require users to be at least 13 years old to join, automatically getting a ‘teen account’ with restrictions on content and screen time.
Sir David joked in 2013 about Harper growing up in an interview with The Sun: ‘She’s not going out. She’s going to be like Rapunzel – up in the tower’.
The footballing legend shares a special bond with Harper and has admitted he struggles to refuse any of her requests.
‘I mean the boys, obviously, give me a little bit of stick, because they know that any question that they ask that they think I’m going to say no to, they know that they have to ask her to ask me, because I can’t say no to her,’ he shared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
‘I think I only said “no” to her once. And her bottom lip started shivering, and I said, never again.’

However, he’s not so cosy with Brooklyn at the moment, with the chef flying into London recently to collaborate with culinary royalty Michel Roux Jr. at the Langham Hotel’s Wigmore restaurant.
He appeared to shade his family with a jibe that he’d ‘only fly back to London for this dish’.
While fans have speculated since the Peltz-Beckham wedding three years ago that there’s been an issue, the feud rumours have now gone into overdrive.
Brooklyn’s unexplained absence from his dad, David’s, birthday celebrations was enough to convince most fans that something is definitely afoot.
Metro has reached out to Brooklyn and the Beckhams for comment.

Vigar was placed in an induced coma after an accident during a match on Saturday (Picture: Getty Images)
Former Arsenal player Billy Vigar has died aged just 21 after suffering a ‘significant brain injury’ during a match.
Vigar was placed in an induced coma after an incident during Chichester City’s match against Wingate and Finchley on Saturday in the Isthmian League Premier Division.
The striker is believed to have collided with a concrete wall while trying to keep the ball in play. The match was abandoned after just 13 minutes.
His death was announced on Thursday evening by his club.
A statement from his family read: ‘After sustaining a significant brain injury last Saturday, Billy Vigar was put in an induced coma.

‘On Tuesday he needed an operation to aid any chances of recovery. Although this helped, the injury proved too much for him and he passed away on Thursday morning.
‘The responses to the original update show how much Billy was thought of and loved within the sport.

‘His family are devastated that this has happened whilst he was playing the sport that he loved.’
Vigar joined Arsenal’s academy at the age of 14 and signed his first professional contract with the Gunners in July 2022.

Vigar trained with the first-team aged just 16 and made appearances for the club’s Under-18 and Under-21 sides.
He had spells at Derby County and Eastbourne Borough before joining Hastings United on a free transfer in July 2024, signing for Chichester earlier this year.

In addition to his non-league playing career, Vigar had recently set up his own coaching programme, offering his services to help young players ‘who have experienced injuries and experienced setbacks’.
A statement from Chichester read: ‘After sustaining a significant brain injury last Saturday, Billy Vigar was put in an induced coma. On Tuesday he needed an operation to aid any chances of recovery. Although this helped, the injury proved too much for him and he passed away on Thursday (25th) morning.

‘Rest in peace Billy. Forever in the hearts of all at Chichester City Football Club.’
The proposed coin would be minted in 2026 (Graphic: Metro)
Two Republican lawmakers have said they want Charlie Kirk’s face put on hundreds of thousands of new silver dollar coins.
Texan August Pfluger and Arizona-based Abraham Hamadeh told Fox News the coins would read ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ if they’re approved and made in 2026.
Pfluger added: ‘This commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalised on legal U.S. currency.
‘It’s a fitting honour that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic.’
Normally, US currency features historical figures and past presidents – but some commemorative coins have featured others.
The law states that no living person in the United States can be featured on currency.
Kirk amassed a large following with his Turning Point USA organisation (Picture: Getty)
A funeral for Kirk, who was shot dead while speaking at a college in Utah earlier this month, was held this past weekend.
More than 100,000 are estimated to have attended.
Founder of Turning Point USA, the dad-of-two was a close ally of President Donald Trump and an infamous commenter on issues such as trans rights and gun control.
Announcing his death, Trump wrote on Truth Social: ‘The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.’
Charlie spoke passionately about conservative values on college campuses, writing five books and launching a podcast and YouTube channel with 3.8 million subscribers.
Earlier this year he was at the Oxford Union, debating students on women’s rights.
Charlie married former Miss Arizona Erika Frantzve Kirk. She’s since been named as the new head of Turning Point USA.
This definitely isn’t the Dingle rulebook (Picture: ITV)
Emmerdale’s Caleb Miligan (William Ash) has betrayed Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and helped John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) go on the run.
Following the gorge jump, John recovered quite quickly. The injuries he sustained weren’t as severe as Aaron Dingle’s (Danny Miller), which meant he could focus on convincing other residents that Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) was responsible for the incident.
Robert was arrested and John did a fairly good job at turning other people against his brother.
Everything changed though when Aaron woke up from his coma. Almost immediately, he confirmed that John was holding Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) hostage, leading to people also learning that he killed Nate.
Mackenzie was found, and the rest of the villagers were forced to try and come to terms with the fact John had been responsible for many life-threatening events that have taken place in their neighbourhood over the past year.
Up until yesterday, Caleb had every intention of assisting in his brother’s revenge plan.
Cain was desperate to get revenge on John (Picture: ITV)
He began by tricking John into thinking he would drive him to Rotterdam so he could go on the run. Caleb ended up driving John to a woodland instead, and then confronted him with a shotgun.
Caleb wasn’t going to pull the trigger though – it was going to be Cain.
As Cain and John’s showdown in the woods began, Caleb sat in the van, waiting for the moment where the gun would go off.
He suddenly had a change of heart (and remembered he does indeed have a moral compass) and raced back to his brother.
There, John announced that if Cain pulled the trigger, he would ensure an email gets sent to the police, confirming what really happened to Anthony Fox and how Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) killed him.
To really back Caleb and Cain into a corner, John also said that if he got reported to the police, he would tell them about Anthony as well.
His quick thinking left Caleb realising that he would have to let John go in order to ensure his family’s safety. While Cain was aware of this, he was also consumed with rage and a need for revenge, which meant it felt as though he needed to do something.
As ever, John was a few steps ahead of the game (Picture: ITV)
A fight ensued and the gun went off, but tonight’s episode allowed us to learn that no one got shot.
This moment led to Caleb knocking Cain out by hitting him with a shovel. In a surprising turn of events, John realised that Caleb was planning on helping him after all, and just needed to prevent Cain from stopping him.
John and Caleb bundled Cain into the boot of his car. They then drove to the border in the van, planning on getting to Rotterdam.
John hid in the back and was very nearly caught by officers, but ultimately was in the clear.
Just before the episode ended, John handed Caleb a piece of paper with the location of Anthony Fox’s body. He also deleted the scheduled email to the police, telling Caleb that they’ve now completed their deal.

The rest of the scheme would see Caleb stop at a service station when he gets to Rotterdam. While away from the vehicle, John would escape and then go on the run.
As Caleb pondered over his decision to let the murderer walk free, Cain had escaped from the boot of the car.
He got into the driver’s seat with the shotgun beside him. Cain looked as though he had smoke coming out of his ears – but what will he do to his brother when he finds him?
Given the enormity of the betrayal, acting rationally isn’t going to be in Cain’s mind just yet,.
When it rains it pours: Palmer was forced off after 20 minutes against United (Picture: Marc Atkins/Getty Images)
Chelsea face a huge decision on how to manage Cole Palmer’s ongoing groin injury but surgery, for now, is likely to be the most remote option under consideration.
Palmer started Chelsea’s first game of the new Premier League season against Crystal Palace but missed wins over West Ham United and Fulham.
Chelsea have attempted to manage the groin problem Palmer carried into the new season but the sight of him forced off early on against United set alarm bells ringing.

Palmer was not involved in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup win over Lincoln City with Enzo Maresca revealing this week a meeting will be held to determine the best course of action to help him overcome the issue.

Surgery is a third option but would represent a major swerve given the work that has been put in by Chelsea’s medical staff so far.
‘It is very difficult to say how the next few weeks look,’ Smith told Metro. ‘Chelsea will certainly be looking at different options.
‘One will be if they decide to try and keep managing this issue proactively the way they have been doing and try to keep pushing from a rehabilitation perspective to get him back out quickly onto the pitch.
‘Or, do they take a little more time. Take him out of the side for a number of weeks, two, three or even four weeks, to give him some time to rest, to get some really decent recovery and rehabilitation time under his belt to create some real strength and resistance there (where the injury is).
‘Or, should they cut their losses and do something a little more drastic but with the potential to have a higher probability of solving the problem once and for all.
Palmer had two goals in two appearances before last weekend (Picture: Getty)
‘All three of those options will be in the conversations going on at Chelsea and I think it will totally depend on his symptoms and how bad they are. He will be wholly involved in that process too. Nobody will be better placed to talk about how he is feeling and what it is like day to day than Cole himself.’
Maresca has also this week played down the possibility of surgery if these issues continue to linger with Smith agreeing such a move would be ‘like going from 0 to 100.’
‘These injuries can be less acute and are not necessarily something you can rehab easily like with a hamstring injury or a calf injury,’ Smith explained. ‘They can be much more chronic, causing a lot of inflammation and a lot of pain when athletes are running and can be slower from a rehabilitation perspective.
Palmer might not be risked this weekend (Picture: Getty Images)
‘I would suggest Chelsea might still consider it a minor issue at the moment. I would suggest the surgery route is probably unlikely because at this stage, it would be like going from 0 to 100. They have believed this issue could be managed conservatively to the point where he was able to be involved in the last number of weeks.
‘If that approach is not working the next step is to say, “let’s take him out of a couple of games to give him a little bit more time”. Swinging the pendulum the other side and going down the surgery route is probably unlikely at this stage, unless further damage has occurred.’
Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, have shown their support for the parents of the girls murdered in the Southport attack.
Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, were taking part in a Taylor Swift-themed dance and bracelet-making class when they were killed on July 29, 2024.
More than a year on since the killing spree, the Prince and Princess of Wales met with the parents of Bebe and Elsie this afternoon.
They travelled to Churchtown Primary School, where Alice and Bebe had been pupils.

William then gave a speech to the school, calling on pupils to honour Bebe, Alice and Elise and ‘be brave, be joyful and be kind’.
He praised the way ‘classmates have come together to support each other and remember the girls in their own way’.
Addressing Alice’s, Bebe’s and Elise’s parents, the heir to the throne added: ‘To Alex and Sergio, Lauren and Ben, Jenni and David – you are parents united in grief.
‘You have faced such horror – but from that you move forward with grace and fortitude – creating the most remarkable legacies for your girls. We will always be here to support you.’
William and Kate had earlier met with Elise’s parents, Jenni, 36, and David Stancombe, 37, at Farnborough Road Infant and Junior School.
Headteacher Jennie Sephton said: ‘It’s made such a big difference. It was something that Jenni and David wanted them to do right from the beginning.

‘It was around the recognition of what staff have done, how they have supported the family, how they have supported the children going forward.
‘And it’s just real recognition that they value Jenni and David but they have also listened. It’s just so special.’
Adrian Antell, head of the attached junior school, added that the future monarchs ‘spoke so wonderfully about what this community has done together’.
After coming back with The Ultimate Tour in 2006, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, and Mark Owen launched The Circus Live tour to accompany their 2008 album of the same name.
In 2009, Mark was part of the hugely profitable Circus Live tour that became the fastest-selling concert series of all time, with 600,000 tickets being snapped up in less than five hours.
These days, Take That only consists of Gary, Howard, and Mark, with Robbie Williams and Jason Orange no longer involved in the pop group.
Along with Gary and Howard, Mark Owen is among the longest-serving member of Take That – here’s everything you need to know about his private life.
How old is Mark Owen?
Mark was just 18 when he joined Take That (Picture: L. Busacca/WireImage)
Take That member Mark Owen is 53, having celebrated his 53rd birthday in January – his birthday comes at the end of the month, on the 27th.
Born in 1972, Mark grew up in a council house with his family in Oldham, Greater Manchester, and showed more interest in football at a young age.
Mark was 18 years old when he left his job at Barclays bank to join Take That after successfully auditioning to join the group, managed by Nigel Martin-Smith.
When the group split, Mark was 24 years old, and began his solo career at the same time – he landed three top 10 singles in the UK between 1996 and 2003.
At the point of Take That’s return, Mark had just turned 33, and was a year older when the group’s song Shine – with Mark on lead vocals – topped the UK charts.
Is Mark Own still married?

In 2009, during the original Circus Live tour, Mark Owen married his wife Emma Ferguson – an actress best known for her work on BBC drama Doctors and Sky drama Mile High.
Mark and Emma had been in a relationship for five years by the time they were married, with Mark aged 32 and Emma aged 29 on their wedding day.
They got engaged in 2006 – the same year as Take That’s Ultimate tour and comeback singles Patience and Shine – and were married in November 2009.
Shortly after tying the knot, Mark publicly confessed to several affairs and to his substance abuse issues, and entered a rehabilitation facility six months later.
In a statement at the time, he said: ‘I’m so deeply sorry for the pain my actions have caused my family and friends. I’d like to ask the media to please respect the privacy of my [family] during this difficult time.’
Since then, the couple have presumably worked through their issues and remain married,now approaching their 16th wedding anniversary.
Does Mark Owen have any children?

Mark Owen and Emma Ferguson welcomed their first child together – a son, Elwood Jack – in 2006. It won’t be long now until Elwood is 20 years old.
In 2008, a year before they were married, the couple welcomed their second child – a daughter named Willow Rose, who recently celebrated her 17th birthday.
Four years later, in 2012, Mark and Emma welcomed Fox India into the world, with their second daughter and third child having just turned 13.
Mark, Emma, Elwood, Willow, and Fox were all forced to evacuate their home during the January 2025 LA wildfires, which destroyed nearly 20,000 houses.
Who is the wealthiest member of Take That?
Each member of Take That has had differing fortunes (Picture: Dave Hogan/Hulton Archive/Getty)
Of the members still in Take That, reports have suggested that out of Gary, Mark, and Howard, Gary has the highest net worth – standing at an estimated £147m as of 2025.
Gary was Take That’s lead songwriter and remains as such more than 30 years from their formation, and has also forged a successful solo career, landing three UK number ones.
Meanwhile, Howard has an estimated net worth of just over £25m – while he didn’t have much of a solo career, being part of the biggest British boyband of the last 30 years will have made him financially comfortable.
Mark’s estimated net worth will have been boosted in comparison to Howard’s by having a moderately successful solo career in the late 90s and early 2000s.
His net worth stands at around £45m, according to reports.
As for the classic members of Take That who are no longer with the group, Jason Orange’s net worth has been estimated to be between £25m and £35m.
The big bucks surely belong to Robbie Williams, however, who was part of the group during their most successful period in the 1990s and then had a major pop and TV career thereafter.
His net worth is estimated to be over £200m, with some sources claiming that it could be as high as £300m.
