Now police are sifting through hundreds of statements taken from nightclubbers at the Chasers nightspot in Kingswood.

The boyfriend of murder victim Jenny King has already denied that he is the killer.

Steve Daly, 30, spoke soon after the reconstruction of her last hours that turned up important new clues.

Mr Daly said he was distraught when Miss King was strangled after leaving a Bristol nightclub last Saturday.

He told the Sun: "I'm sure some people have suspected me. But it wasn't me.

"I cannot believe she has been taken away from me. We were so happy together."

Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Anderson said the reconstruction had turned up "a couple of bits of information which are quite interesting".

Police set up the exercise to try to find out what happened to Miss King after she left Chasers nightclub in Regent Street, Kingswood.

A young woman from the Support Group of Avon and Somerset Police re-enancted the last known movements of the receptionist, whose battered and strangled body was found on Tuesday just yards from her home at Crane Close, Warmley.

The police officer wore similar clothes to those Miss King wore on her night out.

Parents' appeal

Jenny King: Strangled

On Thursday, Miss King's parents appealed for help to catch the "vile" killer.

Speaking at a news conference, Miss King's father Ray appealed to the public to renew their efforts in helping the police.

Mr King said his daughter's death was his "worst nightmare".

He added: "There is a very dangerous person out there who could offend again and must be caught."

Police believe the killer is a local man who knows the area.

They are trying to trace a man and a woman who were seen walking together between the club and Miss King's home.

The man appeared to be speaking to the woman and may have been pestering her.
