A 45-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested as part of a police investigation into the murder of former Bradford Leigh resident Melanie Hall.

A man was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of the 25-year-old's murder and he remains in custody for questioning by Avon and Somerset Police.

Melanie was last seen at the former Cadillacs nightclub in Walcot Street, Bath, in the early hours of Sunday 9 June 1996. Her remains were found in vegetation off the northbound slipway at junction 14 of the M5 (Thornbury) in 2009.

Det Supt Andy Bevan said: “Melanie’s parents have been informed of the arrest and will continue to be supported and updated on the progress of our inquiry by specialist family liaison officers.”
