South London: A new search for the body of south London estate agent Suzy Lamplugh has been made in Somerset.

Police carried out what they describe as a 'fingertip search' on farmland on the outskirts of Bridgewater. The search took five days, and was the result of fresh information.

Miss Lamplugh, 25, has been missing since July 1986, when she left her office after arranging to show a client called Mr Kipper a house in Fulham.

The case was reopened last year and police received a number of new leads after a Crimewatch reconstruction of Miss Lamplugh's last known movements.
