Jo murder police quiz motorists

The body of Jo Yeates was found near Bristol on Christmas Day

Police investigating the murder of Jo Yeates are questioning customers at the pub she visited on the night she vanished.

Miss Yeates, 25, had been to the Ram pub on Park Street on 17 December before walking back to her flat in the Clifton area of the Bristol.

It is known the landscape architect visited three shops on the way home.

Earlier a national newspaper said it is offering a £50,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.

Detectives from Avon and Somerset Police hope by speaking to customers this may yield further clues into the investigation.

Miss Yeates had been in the pub with work colleagues before she returned to her home in Canynge Road – a walk of about one mile.

She was reported missing by her boyfriend Greg Reardon on 19 December after he returned home from a weekend away.

Her snow-covered body was discovered on Christmas Day in Longwood Lane, near Bristol.

A post-mortem examination revealed she had been strangled.

Detectives still do not know where or when Miss Yeates died and forensic examinations are continuing at the flat.

Last week, Crimestoppers offered a £10,000 reward for information.

Miss Yeates’ body was clothed but she was not wearing her jacket or her boots and she was only wearing one sock.

Her jacket and boots were found at her home but the sock remains missing.
