A pensioner has been arrested on suspicion of murder in the 'Lady in the Lake' case of a woman found dead, gagged and dumped 34 years ago.
Shani Warren's body was found face-down in about three feet of water in Taplow Lake, Buckinghamshire, on the day after Good Friday in 1987.
The woman, the daughter of a millionaire, had been gagged with a blue scarf, her hands were tied with jump leads and her legs were bound with a tow rope.
A post-mortem examination found no evidence of injury from a struggle and did not indicate sexual assault, reports from the time say.
A pathologist initially ruled Ms Warren had committed suicide, despite being found bound and gagged with ligature marks around her neck.
It was only after a full-scale post-mortem revealed she had drowned that a murder investigation was launched.
However, nobody has been apprehended or charged over her death until now.
A 65-year-old man was yesterday arrested and was last night in police custody, Thames Valley Police confirmed.
