Shani Warren: Man arrested over Lady in Lake murder of woman 34 years ago
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder over the death of a woman found in a lake more than 30 years ago.
Shani Warren was discovered bound and gagged in Taplow Lake, Buckinghamshire, in April 1987.
The 26-year-old was reportedly last seen while driving from her home to her parents’ house on Good Friday.
Ms Warren’s car was spotted in a layby near the lake in the early hours of the following day, according to a BBC Crimewatch appeal which aired the same year she disappeared.
However, her body was not found until Easter Sunday when it was spotted by a dog walker.
Officers have arrested a man today in connection with a murder that took place in 1987.
The 65-year-old is currently in police custody.
