A MAN has been charged with the killing of a woman who vanished from her ￡850,000 farmhouse sparking a "no body" murder probe.
Stuart Williamson, 56, is accused of murdering Diane Douglas, 58, between 1 and 31 December in 2018 - as her relatives called the cops after not hearing from her for YEARS.

A man has now been charged with the murder and killing of Diane Douglas
Concerned family members of Ms Douglas contacted police on October 21 to report her missing after losing contact with her.
Officers immediately launched a probe - and last week they announced they were treating her disappearance as murder, even though no body has been found.
The 56-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of the killing - and has now been charged.
Williamson was found in Wales and was arrested before being returned to his home in Norfolk for questioning.
Police say he was known to Diane, who lived in Colton on the outskirts of Norwich.
Norfolk police said in a statement: "Detectives from the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team declared the case a ‘no body’ murder investigation after enquiries revealed Diane had not been seen for a significant period.
