A man has been charged with murdering his father after a body was discovered wrapped in bin bags in a field.
Frank Garner, 62, from Old Goole, East Yorkshire, was reported missing to Humberside Police on July 30, 2005.
His clothed body was found last month in a field about a mile south of the village of East Cowick, East Yorkshire, by a man walking his dog.
Police said the remains might have been there for more than two years.
