An 81-year-old woman arrested in connection with the death of Somaya Begum has been released on bail.
The man has been remanded in custody to appear at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 9 July.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed a body was found at around 7.35pm on Wednesday near Fitzwilliam Street, in the Broomfields area of the city.
Officials can now officially confirm that the body is Mrs Begum’s.
The young woman was last seen at her Binney Street home on Saturday, June 25 at 2pm and was reported missing 24 hours later.
The significant update from police came almost two weeks after a major 14-day investigation into her disappearance was launched.
Despite appeals, there have been no confirmed sightings or contact of her.
The site of Wednesday’s gruesome discovery is in a heavily industrialized area home to businesses including engineering firms, car repair shops and building supply companies.
Police scenes remain in place at an industrial estate on Thornbury Road in Laisterdyke and on Binnie Street, Barkerend, where Somaiya was last seen.
