The husband of a detective whose body was found in a lake has been charged with murder.
Leanne McKie, 39, a serving Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer from Wilmslow, was found dead in Poynton Park, Cheshire, on Friday.
Darren McKie, 43, also a GMP officer, will appear at South and East Cheshire Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
Ms McKie, who had three children, worked as a detective constable in GMP’s serious sexual offences unit and joined the force in 2001.
Paying tribute to her, GMP Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “My heart particularly goes out to her three young children, who she adored. Leanne worked tirelessly to provide support and seek justice for victims of sexual crimes.”
Cheshire Police officers were called to Poynton Park at about 3.45am on Friday to reports of a body in a lake.
