Police are questioning two people over the unsolved murder of mum of two Vera Anderson in Warrington in 1991.

She was found dead in a car just off Tannery Lane in Penketh on Sunday August 25 1991.

Vera was last seen alive leaving her home in Widnes at around 10pm the previous evening, after receiving a phone call.

Despite a long running appeal by Cheshire Police, nobody has ever been convicted over her death.

Now 70-year-old man from Widnes and a 61-year-old woman from Warrington have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Both remain in custody for questioning.
