Three people arrested on suspicion of the murder of missing woman Sandra Gant have been released from bail.

The trio, two men and a woman, were arrested by police in January.

They were a 55-year-old woman from Clacton, a 28-year-old man from Southend and an 18-year-old from the Clacton area.

All three have now been released from bail without charge.

Meanwhile, the hunt for 48-year-old Mrs Gant is still continuing.

Mrs Gant is described as thin, 5ft 3ins tall with wavy brown hair down to her shoulders.

She was thought to be wearing a black leather, waist-cut coat with light blue jeans, trainers and a blue scarf.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police at 01255 221312
