A 67-year-old Brighton woman has been charged in relation to the Gary Hampson murder investigation.
Linda Rosenberg, of Montpelier Road, Brighton, has been charged with doing acts intending to pervert the course of justice.
She has been remanded in custody and will appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on 28 January, Sussex Police said.
Mr Hampson, 43, of Old Shoreham Road, Portslade, was reported missing in January last year after he failed to contact his 10-year-old daughter despite having been in regular contact with her.
Detectives began a murder investigation after finding a significant amount of Mr Hampson’s blood at the garage he managed in Little Western Street, Hove.
