Phil Spector charged with murder

Record producer Phil Spector has been charged with murder in the shooting death of a woman at his home.

B-movie actress Lana Clarkson was found at Mr Spector's mansion in Alahambra, Los Angeles, on 3 February, with a fatal gun shot wound to her face.

Mr Spector, who denies murder, was arrested shortly afterward and freed on $1m bail.

Mr Spector became a legendary name in pop music for his work with acts such as John Lennon and Tina Turner.

His Wall of Sound recording technique transformed 1960s pop music.

"After we reviewed the evidence presented to us by the sheriff's department and additional evidence we determined that murder is the appropriate charge," Sandi Gibbons of the District Attorney's office said.

Mr Spector, 62, is expected to appear in court on Thursday to be formally charged.

Mr Spector told Esquire magazine in June that Ms Clarkson died in a bizarre act of suicide - a conclusion police have ruled out. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office ruled that Ms Clarkson, 40, was murdered.

Mr Spector met Ms Clarkson at Hollywood's House of Blues club, where she worked as a hostess, before taking her to his hilltop mansion.

Police were called when a gun shot was heard at the house.
