The CPS need there to be enough evidence for there to be a realistic prospect of conviction, they won't just charge someone for the hell of it.
The fact they decided to arrest him for murder and not just keep him in on the abduction arrest speaks volumes. That, the focussing of the search area and what they've NOT said suggests there has either been a confession or other evidence supporting the murder charge.
If there wasn't evidence for murder I'd imagine they would have charged him with abduction and opposed bail which would have kept him locked up for a bit anyway.
