Key evidence in Jenny murder hunt

They have found a set of keys that they believe may have belonged to the murderer.

The keys, one brass and the other silver-coloured, were recovered from the wood where 22-year-old Jenny's strangled and battered body was found last week near her Bristol home.

House-to-house inquiries

Detective Superintendent Bill Davies, who is leading 100 officers in the murder hunt, said the keys were vital to police inquiries.

He appealed for anyone who recognised them to come forward.

He also said the police were now beginning house-to-house inquiries to find the owner of the keys.

He said detectives would also be carrying out interviews with a number of people.

Murder

Ms King, who worked as a receptionist, was last seen leaving a nightclub with friends in Kingswood on Saturday, 31 October.

Police are not certain whether she took a taxi or decided to make the 20-minute walk home alone.

Ms King lived with her parents in Warmley and had a steady boyfriend.

Her parents described her as a home-loving and caring young woman devoted to her family. They say there were "no problems" in her life.

Police set up a reconstruction of Jenny's disappearance at the weekend.

A young woman from the Support Group of Avon and Somerset Police re-enacted her last known movements.

Police said the exercise had turned up several pieces of "quite interesting" information.
