Police in Derbyshire launch a murder investigation after the body of a 26-year-old man is found at the Nine Ladies Stone Circle in Stanton Lees, in the Peak District, during a summer solstice event. Multiple outlets report the discovery on Monday afternoon, with the time given as around 1.38pm, and note the body is found at the Bronze Age site. Sky News and other reports say detectives treat the death as suspicious and have opened a murder probe. One outlet also reports that a man is later charged with murder in connection with the case, indicating the investigation progresses from the initial discovery. Coverage is consistent on the location (Nine Ladies Stone Circle), the victim’s age (26), and the timing of the incident (Monday afternoon, during or around the summer solstice period). Police statements referenced across the reports indicate they are investigating possible homicide and coordinating initial evidence collection at the scene. Further details beyond the charge and basic circumstances are not provided in the supplied excerpts.
