Detectives have issued a fresh appeal as they continue to investigate the unsolved murder of a mum-of-two.
Veronica Anderson, known as Vera, left her home in Widnes at 10.10pm on Saturday, August 24, 1991, after she received a phone call. She was found strangled with her throat slashed in her car on Tannery Lane in Penketh shortly after 3am in the early hours of August 25.
A bloodied “Minette” brand cotton glove was found at the scene, with forensic testing matching the blood to that of the murdered 42-year-old. The ECHO reported at the time that a Home Office pathologist estimated the time of death to have been between 11.30pm and 2.30am.
