Police name man whose body was found in suitcase in Kent as Dale Mundell

Police have named a man whose body was found in a suitcase as 34-year-old Dale Mundell.

His remains were discovered in a wooded area of Borstal, Kent, on Friday, and two men today appeared via video link at Medway Magistrates' Court.

Joshua Miller, 32, of Kingfisher Court, Wimbledon, is charged with murdering Mr Mundell on 8 July and preventing a lawful burial.

Jamie Cooper, 27, of the same address, is also charged with preventing a lawful burial.

Metropolitan Police said they were called to Kingfisher Court on Thursday night over concerns for a man's welfare.

They didn't find anyone but there was evidence someone had "come to harm" and an investigation was launched.

Police said Mr Mundell - who was from Islington - and the two men charged knew each another.

Miller will appear next at Maidstone Crown Court on 15 July, before both defendants appear at the same court on 10 August for a plea hearing.
