Man charged over dog walker death

A man has been charged with murder after the body of a school teaching assistant was found in a playing field.

Sally Garwood's body was found by passers-by in a park in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, on Saturday afternoon.

The 34-year-old, a teaching assistant at Lord Williams's School, Thame, Oxfordshire, had been walking her dogs.

Robert Cusworth, 24, also from Aylesbury, has been charged with murder and is expected before the town's magistrates' court later.

Police said the pair did not know each other.

A post-mortem examination showed Ms Garwood died from stab wounds.

Officers were called to the scene, near Meadowcroft, at 1538 BST by the South Central Ambulance Service.

Det Supt Rob Mason, who is leading the murder inquiry, said he wanted to reassure local residents that no-one else was being sought in connection with the killing.
