British police hunting the killer of landscape architect Joanna Yeates have arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of her murder.
Ms Yeates, (25), went missing on Dec. 17 after buying a pizza and two bottles of cider on her way home from a Bristol pub.
Her body was found on Christmas Day covered in snow by the side of a country lane around two miles from her flat, eight days after she disappeared. She had been strangled.
The latest arrest comes three days after her parents appealed for anyone with information about their daughter's death to come forward.
"I would like to thank the public for their continued support for the investigation and the information they have provided to us," said Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones of Avon and Somerset police.
He also thanked Ms Yeates' family and her boyfriend Greg Reardon (27). M Reardon, with whom she lived, had reported her missing two days later after coming back from a weekend away.
Three days ago, her parents issued a plea for any "armchair detectives" to come forward if they had any information or for those who had any suspicions to tell the police.
Ms Yeates's landlord, 65-year-old Christopher Jefferies who lived in the same building in the Clifton area of the city, was arrested in December on suspicion of her murder but was later released without charge on police bail.
