Human remains discovered in woodland in south-west London following a wildfire are those of a Southampton mother-of-three who disappeared nearly seven years ago, police said.

The Metropolitan Police were called on the evening of August 12 after bones, thought to belong to a woman aged between 25 and 45, were found near Padstow Walk in Feltham after the area was affected by a blaze.
