A second teenager has been charged in connection with a murder inquiry into a man missing after driving from Scotland to England.

Paul Taylor, 56, was last in Carlisle on 17 October last year and his car was later found abandoned.

A 19-year-old man has been charged with assisting an offender, Cumbria Police said.

He has been bailed and is due to appear at North Cumbria Magistrates' Court on 5 April.

In February a 19-year-old man appeared in court charged with murder.

Mr Taylor was last seen leaving his address in Annan at around 21:45 GMT on 17 October.

It is believed he travelled to Carlisle shortly before midnight.

Officers said his body had yet to be recovered.

Two other suspects previously arrested remain on police bail.

All others have been released without charge.
