Brother of EastEnders actress charged with her murder Gemma McCluskie, 29, who played Kerry Skinner in the BBC soap, went missing nine days ago and her remains were discovered in Regent's Canal on Tuesday. Police divers are still searching for Miss McCluskie's remaining body parts. Friends of Miss McCluskie had been carrying out searches across east London and handing out leaflets. Former EastEnders co-stars Natalie Cassidy and Brooke Kinsella both appealed on Twitter for help in finding her. Miss McCluskie, who lived in Pelter Street, Bethnal Green, played Kerry Skinner in the BBC soap on more than 30 occasions in 2001. Her character arrived in Walford as a friend of Zoe Slater and the great-niece of the late Ethel Skinner. Tony McCluskie will appear in custody at Thames magistrates' court on Monday.
