Man, 48, appears in court charged with murder of woman whose body was found in ‘several pieces’ in a park – The Sun

A MAN has appeared in court charged with the murder of a woman whose body was found in "several pieces" in a park.

Thomas McCann – understood to be victim Yvonne McCann's husband – was held by cops after she was discovered in Reddish Vale Country Park in Stockport on Monday.

The 48-year-old today appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court charged with murder between May 22 and 25.

McCann, who spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth, was remanded in custody to next appear at Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday.

A murder probe was launched after a member of the public discovered Yvonne, aged in her 40s, dead in the beauty spot.

Her body was found in "several parts", according to the MEN.

Friends and family have paid tribute to Yvonne, of nearby Brinnington, on social media sites.

One child posted on Facebook “Miss you mum”.

Another friend wrote “Please say it’s not true Vonnie.”

Police are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Superintendent Neil Jones, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “This is an absolutely devastating incident.

"First and foremost, our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones and specialist officers will do everything they can to support them.

“Understandably, this news may cause concern within the community but I would like to provide some reassurance by saying that, at this time, we believe that this was an isolated incident.

"Nevertheless, there will be increased patrols in the area in the coming days and I would encourage anyone with concerns to speak to those officers."
