Ms Poolton had been missing since 17 October

A 52-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman who was found with stab wounds has been released on bail.

Paula Poolton, of Titchfield, Fareham, was found in her Peugeot 206 car in Park Gate, near to Swanwick railway station on Tuesday.

The 40-year-old had been missing since 17 October. Police handed out leaflets to rail passengers on Friday - two weeks after she vanished.

A 55-year-old man also held on suspicion of murder remains in custody.

Both men are from the Fareham area.

Fresh information

Officers were at Swanwick railway station to try and jog people's memories.

Ms Poolton's car was found in Duncan Road, which is used regularly for access and parking for the station, police said.

Det Ch Insp Gary O'Flaherty, of Hampshire Police, said: "We have conducted house-to-house inquiries and put out several appeals.

"We felt speaking to people who regularly use Swanwick station could yield fresh information for our appeal."

The last confirmed sighting of Ms Poolton's Peugeot, prior to it being found in Duncan Road, was at Tesco in Bursledon between 2130 BST and 2140 BST on 17 October.
