New photofit of Caroline suspect
The new picture (left) and the one issued in February
French police have released a new photofit of a suspect in the 28-month hunt for the killer of 13-year-old British schoolgirl Caroline Dickinson.
Caroline was raped and smothered in a hostel bedroom in Pleine Fougeres, Brittany, in July 1996, while on a trip with Launceston Community College, Cornwall.

It was prepared by a French teenage girl who was raped at knifepoint in Nancy, eastern France in May 1993.
The man she described was of similar appearance to the first photofit of a suspect released by French police in February this year, prepared from sightings near the hostel in the days before the murder.
The first photofit attracted over 1,000 calls to the French police.
A police spokesman in Nancy appealed for anyone who recognised the second photofit to get in touch with them.
Genetic tests were carried out on 2,000 men in France and Britain in an unsuccessful search for genetic samples matching those found on Caroline's body.
