Body parts murder police hold man

Lyndsey Bourne had been working as a prostitute to fund a drug habit

Detectives investigating the murder of a prostitute whose body parts were found in a Leeds wood are continuing to question a 29-year-old man.

Parts of Lyndsey Bourne's severed leg were found by a man walking his dog in Meanwood last year, but the rest of her body has never been found.

Forensic experts were also continuing to examine a house in the Cookridge area of the city on Thursday.

Ms Bourne, 28, from Selby, had been working in Leeds when she vanished.

She was last seen by friends who dropped her off in Sovereign Street in the city centre on 16 September.

A murder investigation was started the following month after the discovery of her leg in an area of woodland known as Woodhouse Ridge.

A £10,000 reward had been offered for information leading to the conviction of her killer.

West Yorkshire Police arrested the man, who is from Leeds, in connection with their inquiry on Wednesday.
