POLICE are appealing for help solve the murder of Coggeshall doctor’s wife Diane Jones 27 years ago.

It is one of a number of "cold" cases being republicised in the hope of getting new informatiom.

Mrs Jones, 35, went missing from her home on July 23,1983.

Beaters on a pheasant shoot found her body in a wood in Brightwell, near Martlesham, Suffolk, on October 22.

Mrs Jones, who was two months pregnant, had multiple skull fractures. Police believed she had been battered with a spiked hammer shortly after she went missing, but the weapon was not found.

Suffolk and Norfolk’s joint Major Investigation Team will use the internet to renew appeals on cold cases stretching back to the 1960s, in a bid to uncover new information to help with their inquiries.
