THE search for the body of a Bradford father continued today as part of a murder probe.

Tyron Charles (pictured), 29, was last seen in Denholme on September 6, and a search for his body is ongoing.

An underwater search team was still at a large lake at the outdoor activity centre at Doe Park today, a West Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed.

A large cordon was put in place over the weekend at the centre and a nearby allotment.

James Sutcliffe, 28, of Hillcrest Road, Denholme, appeared at Bradford Crown Court yesterday charged with the murder of Mr Charles. He did not enter a plea.

A full plea and trial preparation hearing has been arranged for October 19, and Sutcliffe was told by Judge David Hatton QC that he must remain in custody until then.

On Tuesday night, a police forensics team could be seen at work at a rented house in Unity Street South, Bingley, where Mr Charles had lived.
