Woman in her 40s arrested on suspicion of murder over missing Devon teen

A 40-something woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the disappearance of 15-year-old Taylor Charlton from north Devon. The teenager was last seen on May 8 and has not been found despite an extensive search. On June 24, a body was discovered in the River Taw, believed to be Taylor's, though formal identification has not yet occurred. Police have launched a new line of inquiry based on fresh information, leading to the arrest of the woman, who will be interviewed as part of the investigation. This is the second arrest in the case, following the detention of a 20-year-old man earlier this month. Taylor's parents have expressed deep concern and hope for his safe return.
