A 21-year-old man from northern NSW has been charged over the murder of a woman whose remains were discovered last May.

Police arrested the man at 6pm yesterday at a premises in String Bark Crescent in Yarravel, NSW.

Amanda O'Dell, 20, from nearby Kempsey, was last seen around 10.45pm on April 8 by friends who dropped her home on Polwood Street after a night out.

Police discovered her remains on May 13 near an unmarked track in bushland in the Tamban State Forest, near Kempsey.

The man was refused bail and will appear at Port Macquarie Local Court today.
