Three men have today been arrested on suspicion of
murdering missing chef Claudia Lawrence. North Yorkshire police confirmed
the men - all aged in their 50s and from the York area - were arrested this
morning.
The body of the missing chef, who was 35 when she
disappeared in 2009, has still not been found. Officers have now launched
a fresh search for evidence which could lead to her whereabouts, which is set
to continue over a number of days.
A man, in his 50s and from the York area, was arrested last month on
suspicion of her murder. He was later released on bail. A 60-year-old man
was arrested last year in connection with her disappearance and suspected
murder but was later released without charge.
Miss Lawrence was last seen on March 18, 2009. She was reported missing
by her father after concerns were raised when she failed to turn up for her 6am
shift at the University of York. Detectives began reviewing the case in 2013
and have since carried out a number of searches, including a detailed
re-examination of Miss Lawrence's home, in the Heworth area of York, and a fingertip
search of an alleyway that leads to the rear of the house.
They have also issued previously unseen CCTV footage of two people
walking near the house. The new arrests, and the arrest in March, are
understood to be linked to these lines of inquiry. See more pictures after the cut.
