Mum found dead hours after mystery phone call made her leave home - 31 years on, two have been arrested for murder

Two people have been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a mum thirty-one years ago.

Just after 10pm on August 24th, 1991, Veronica Anderson took a phone call at her home. Whoever it was, and whatever they said, prompted her to leave the house in a hurry and get a neighbour to babysit her seven-year-old son.
