Two Rearrested In Nicola Payne Case
Police investigating the disappearance of Nicola Payne have rearrested two people.
A man, aged 50, and a 51-year-old woman are currently on police bail in connection with the inquiry.
Ms Payne, 18 and a mother-of-one, was last seen on 14 December 1991 in the Henley Green area.
In a statement, West Midlands Police confirmed on Thursday (1 May) that a man had been rearrested on suspicion of Ms Payne's murder and abduction, while the woman was rearrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. Both were first arrested in December 2013 after new evidence came to light.
DI Martin Slevin, from West Midlands Police, said: "The investigation into Nicola's disappearance continues and today's arrests show that there is still information held within the community that has not previously been known to the inquiry."
He added that Ms Payne's family were aware of the latest developments and are being supported by specially-trained officers.
Detectives have urged anyone with information to contact them on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
