Darren Osment will appear at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Thursday accused of murdering 32-year-old Claire Holland. Mrs Holland, from the Lawrence Weston area of ​​Bristol, was last seen leaving Seamus O’Donnell’s pub in the city center at 11.15pm on June 6, 2012, the day after the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee weekend. She was reported missing a few days later, and has not been spotted or reported since despite many massive searches and appeals for information. Avon and Somerset Police said Osment, of Chessel Drive, Patchway, South Gloucestershire, was remanded in custody. It comes as police investigators investigate the Barrelhouse pub in Clifton, north Bristol, following “specific new information”. Officers said their search has no connection to the current or previous owners of the premises. Detective Superintendent Gary Haskins, head of the major crime investigation team, said: “This is a pivotal moment in our investigation and we have informed Claire’s family now that a man has been charged with her murder. “We will continue to provide any support they need through our dedicated Family Liaison Officer.” Image: Police search the Barrelhouse pub in Bristol Ben Semples, senior district Crown prosecutor for the CPS South West complex case unit, added: “The Crown Prosecution Service has authorized Avon and Somerset Police to charge Darren Osment with one count of murder. “The initiation of the charge follows a complex investigation by the Major Crime Squad, which was supported by the complex case unit. “An extensive review of all the evidence gathered has led us to conclude that our legal tests for prosecuting have been met. “The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Darren Osment are active and that he is entitled to a fair trial. “It is extremely important that there is no reporting, commenting or sharing of information online that could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
