    A man has been charged with the murder of former Ashville College student Anna Reed.

    Ms Reed, 22, was found strangled in her bed in a Swiss hotel in April 2019.

    The Sunday Times reported last weekend that Marc Schatzle, a German traveller, has been accused of murder, fraud and theft.

    It is believed Mr Schatzle met Ms Reed when she was travelling around the world as a 21st birthday present from her father, Clive, a Harrogate racehorse breeder.

    They are thought to have been dating for several months.

    A spokesman for the Swiss prosecutors office said:

    "He is accused of intentional homicide, theft, fraud and drug offences.
    "Covid permitting, he will go on trial later this year."


    A spokeswoman for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said:

    “Our consular staff are assisting the family of a British woman following her death in Switzerland, and are in contact with the Swiss and UK police.”
