12 April 2012
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a woman whose body was found following a fire at her home.
Nottinghamshire Police said the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, would appear before magistrates in Nottingham later today accused of killing Jacqueline Bartlam.
Ms Bartlam was found dead in the early hours of Easter Monday after a house fire in Georgia Drive, Redhill, Nottingham.
A post-mortem examination conducted by a Home Office pathologist found that the 47-year-old had died of head injuries.
A police spokesman said a cordon remained in place around the fire-damaged property, although a wider cordon in the surrounding area has since been lifted.
