Police investigating the death of north Lincolnshire teenager Laura Torn are still trying to trace some of her personal items.

The 18-year-old went missing in the early hours of 27 April after a night out at a pub in her home village of Owston Ferry.

Her body was discovered ten days later in a haystack at Mission in Nottinghamshire.

A post-mortem examination revealed she had been strangled.

Detectives now want the public's help in finding some of her possessions.

These include a grey hooded top with pink trim, a ladies Solar watch with a purple face, and a Sony mobile phone.

Police are anxious to find these items

Detective Chief Inspector Kevin Bowe, from Humberside Police, said the items are important to the investigation.

He said: "It's crucial to us because it could detail some important movements during the period she disappeared.

"I am confident they are going to be in the Isle of Axholme area.

"They could be on a roadside, in a skip, or in a bin."

Guy Beckett, 31, of Burnham Square, Owston Ferry, has been remanded in custody charged with Laura's murder.

He is due to appear at Hull Crown Court on 15 August.
