A man arrested in Glasgow has been charged with the murder of missing teenager Georgia Williams following the discovery of a body near Wrexham in North Wales, police have said.

Jamie Reynolds, 22, was charged following the discovery of the body in woodland on the Nant-y-Grath pass. It is thought to be that of 17-year-old Georgia, police said. Reynolds is due to appear at Telford Magistrates' Court on Saturday morning.

Police also confirmed that it came to light yesterday that Georgia had died at an address in Wellington, Telford.

Superintendent Malik said the body had not been positively identified, but early indications suggested it was linked to Georgia's disappearance.
He said: "Within the last hour, following liaison with the Crown Prosecution Service,we have charged 22-year-old Jamie Reynolds with the murder of Georgia Williams.
"For obvious legal reasons, I am not in a position to talk to you about that, to ensure a fair court outcome in due course.
"Sadly, yesterday afternoon, new evidence came to light which identified that Georgia had in fact died at an address in Wellington, in Telford here, and clearly that information has led us to where we are today.
"I can also confirm that this afternoon the body of a female, a young female, has been found in woodland in the pass near Nant-y-Garth in Wrexham, north Wales.
"At this moment in time we haven't identified that body, but early indications do suggest it's linked to the disappearance of Georgia Williams."

Superintendent Malik said police had been liaising closely with Georgia's family, "who are naturally devastated by the events of yesterday afternoon and late this afternoon as well."
He said all investigations were challenging. "This has proved particularly challenging given that colleagues are working relentlessly, but also that one of the colleagues, Georgia's father, is a police officer within this organisation here, and it's been emotional for them.
"Whenever someone from a police family is involved, it is particularly distressing, clearly."
He thanked the investigation team for the progress they had made, the Crown Prosecution Service, and policing partners for their support, and the public and press.
Earlier, friends of Georgia spoke of their hope of her safe return as they leafleted people in her home town of Wellington in a bid to raise awareness about her disappearance.
Georgia was last seen by her parents on Sunday evening when she told them she was going to see friends.
She was described by close friends as "bubbly", with a great sense of humour.
Katy Lafferty, who was Georgia's best friend and helped organise the leaflet drop, said her disappearance was "heart-breaking".

CCTV images captured the moment Reynolds arrived in Glasgow.

Just hours before his dramatic arrest at a city centre hotel, Reynolds, was seen driving a silver van into a nearby car park.

The grainy footage, recorded at the car park in Dunblane Street, Port Dundas, shows the silver Toyota Hiace 300 GS, pulling into the old warehouse.

Police believe Reynolds drove the van to Glasgow on a haphazard route from Shropshire, with the suspect captured at the car park at around 3.15pm on Tuesday.

On arrival in Glasgow, the footage shows reynolds struggling to park the van, which has the registration CX06 ASV.

He then asks the car park attendant to reverse the vehicle into a space for him.

Georgia was reported missing by her parents Stephen and Lynette, on Monday after she failed to meet up with her boyfriend, Matthew Bird, to travel to a music festival.

She was last seen on Sunday evening when she left her family home in Wellington to meet with friends. Her mobile phone was last used around 8pm that day.

The footage shows Reynolds, who looks unkept and scruffy, spending less than 10 minutes in the city centre car park.

At 3.24pm, he puts on a cross-body bag and calmly walks away from the van.

Just over 12 hours later, at around 4am on Wednesday, police descended on the car park, which sits just a few hundred yards from the Premier Inn on West Nile Street where Reynolds was then arrested.

Other images show a hive of police activity with four officers, in plain clothes, then quickly searching the van.

They were acting on behalf of West Mercia Police – the force for which Georgia's father works as a detective constable.

After first being held on suspicion of kindnapping the teenager, Reynolds was returned to England and re-arrested on suspicion of her murder.

The footage also shows uniformed officers and workers wearing white protective suits, loading the van onto a recovery pick-up truck, shortly before 9am on Wednesday.

The van, which belongs to Reynolds's stepbrother, was then taken in for forensic examination.

The van's course has been tracked by number plate recognition systems, starting out from Wellington to nearby Oswestry on the Welsh border, before heading to Glasgow.

The van is also known to have travelled through Rhyl, Chester and Cumbria before heading north to Scotland.

Superintendent Nav Malik said police believed the van would have visited a truck stop along the way and are investigating its route between Sunday evening to Monday at noon.

Mr Malik said: "We want to hear from anyone who may have seen a silver Toyota Hiace 300 GS panel van, registration CX06 ASV, which know took a route from Wellington to Oswestry in Shropshire before moving on to Rhyl, Chester, Kendal in Cumbria and then Glasgow.

"The vehicle had ladders on the roof and we know it was driven by the suspect prior to his arrest.

"The smallest scrap of detail could be vital to our enquiries so even if you think it may not be important please tell us so that we can check it out.

"If you think you saw this vehicle either en route or parked somewhere, between Sunday evening and when we recovered it in a car park in Glasgow city centre yesterday, then please let us know."
