Nicholas David Kutner, 47, of no fixed abode, allegedly pretended to be Ms Waugh’s brother in a bid to sell her London home.

Kutner also faces two charges relating to renting her property at Tressard Court and a fourth of unlawfully withdrawing funds from the 50-year-old’s bank account.

Miss Waugh went missing in mid-April.

Her body was found with a single stab wound inside a car at the garage in Lime Court, New Malden, south-west London, on Thursday night.

The Metropolitan Police said Kutner was bailed to return to a police station on August 25 relating to his arrest on suspicion of murder and kidnap last Wednesday.

But he has not been freed because he is being held in custody on the fraud charges ahead of an appearance by video link at Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
