A MAN will appear in court today charged with the murder of a woman whose body was found on fire in a lay-by.

Homeless Jamal Bakhit, 24, will appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in London accused of killing Rahmona Ahmedin.

The 23-year-old victim was discovered on the A1301 at Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, at about 3.30am last Wednesday. A post mortem revealed she had been stabbed.

Ms Ahmedin, a Swedish national, lived in Peabody Square, Islington, north London.

She was reported missing last Saturday after it was believed she was killed at her home.
