June Jones murder: West Bromwich man, 34, charged with assisting suspected killer
Police investigating the murder of June Jones in West Bromwich have tonight charged a man with assisting her suspected killer.
Keith O'Dwyer, aged 34, of Beaconview Road, West Bromwich, will appear before Walsall magistrates on Saturday.
The latest development comes as officers revealed they have had a number of calls from the public following an appeal to trace Michael Foran, whom Miss Jones had been in a relationship with.
Foran is wanted after officers found Miss Jones' body after they forced entry to her maisonette in Wyndmill Crescent, on the Charlemont Farm estate, at around 2am on December 31.
The 33-year-old had been reported missing by her sister on Boxing Day.
There was evidence of a "sustained and brutal assault with a weapon" police said.

Officers have been hunting Foran, aged 32, since then. He is known to have travelled to Liverpool in the aftermath of her disappearance.
Detective Inspector Warren Hines, who is leading the murder investigation, said: “I’m pleased with the response to our appeal from the public and we’ve had several calls with potential sightings of Foran, which we are thoroughly investigating.
“If anybody is thinking of helping him, they can expect to be arrested and charged.
“We urgently want to know where he is, so call us on 999 with any information. My message to him is to give himself up, as it’s only a matter a time before we arrest him.”
