A handyman has been charged with the murder of 61-year-old British woman on an extended holiday in Jamaica.

Omar Reid, 30, is accused of killing Barbara Scott-Jones, whose body was found in a pit near her holiday home in the northwest of the Caribbean island.

The former nurse from Leeds went missing in March and was found dead with a skull fracture on Good Friday.

Mr Reid, who was arrested on Thursday, is due to appear in court later in the week, police said.

Ms Scott-Jones, who was reported missing on 14 March, was described by her family as a "wonderful, selfless woman".
