A WOMAN suspected of murdering her own mother has been spotted in Southend High Street by an Echo reader.

Nicola Edgington, 25, is the only suspect in a murder hunt involving Sussex and Essex Police after her 60-year-old mother Marion was found stabbed to death at her Sussex home just over a week ago.

The search concentrated on Southend after mother-of-two Nicola was seen at an address near Southend East railway station last Tuesday.
