Paul Ansell, the husband of Nicola Bulley who was found dead in Lancashire in February, has been arrested and charged with murder. Lancashire Police have confirmed that these claims are completely false. False claims that Paul Ansell, the husband of the late Nicola Bulley, has been arrested or charged with murder have been shared thousands of times on Facebook this month.  Lancashire Police told Full Fact that the information in these posts is 'completely false'.  The two posts, both shared to the same so-called 'crime news' page on social media, wrongly claim that Mr Ansell was arrested after being spotted on CCTV close to the site where Ms Bulley's body was found in the River Wyre in Lancashire on 19 February 2023.
