Police in Berkshire searching for the missing millionairess and former Isle of Man resident Joanna Brown have found a body.

Thames Valley Police say the body of a woman was discovered in Windsor Great Park, near the 46-year-old's home in Ascot.

The body hasn't yet been formally identified. A post mortem is due to take place tomorrow (Saturday).

Mrs Brown's husband Robert appeared at Slough Magistrates Court this morning, charged with her murder. He was remanded in custody until Monday, when he will appear at Reading Crown Court.

A police spokesman said members of Joanna's family have been kept fully updated and are being supported by trained family liaison officers.

Joanna Brown spent much of her childhood in Laxey, and is the daughter of Di Parkes who lives in Sulby and the late Chris Simpson, a well known property developer in the Island in the 1980s.
