Two people arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a mum thirty-one years ago have been released under investigation.
The pair were held earlier this week in connection with the death of mother-of-two, Veronica Anderson, in Warrington. Just after 10pm on August 24th, 1991, Veronica took a call at her home.
Whoever it was, and whatever they said, prompted her to leave the house in a hurry and get a neighbour to babysit her seven-year-old son. She drove her son to the neighbour's home saying she would be back in ten minutes as she "had an appointment". Five hours later she was found in her Cortina car with her throat cut.
