Man Arrested In Jo Yeates Case
Detectives investigating the murder of Jo Yeates have arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
The 25-year-old was found on Christmas day in Longwood Lane, Failand, eight days after she was reported missing from her home in Clifton, Bristol.
A post-mortem examination revealed that she had been strangled.
Commenting on the arrest, her father said: "We were told at 6am this morning that someone was arrested on suspicion of Jo's murder and their age."
Police have now closed Canynge Road and have put up scaffolding next to Miss Yeates's flat.
Miss Yeates was last seen around 8pm on 17 December after she had been out with colleagues in the Bristol Ram pub in Park Street.
On her way home she visited three shops and was filmed on CCTV.
In one of the stores she bought a pizza - the receipt was found in her flat but no evidence of the pizza or the packaging has been found at this time.
Tests have revealed Miss Yeates had not eaten the pizza before she died.
Her body was also found with a ski sock missing.
Avon and Somerset police have not revealed where the man was arrested.
The development comes two days after a Crimewatch reconstruction was filmed tracing Miss Yeates's last steps.
The reconstruction focused on what happened to her after she left her firm, BDP, in Bristol city centre.
Detectives said she had made it home to her flat because her shoes, coat, mobile phone, purse and keys were found there.
Miss Yeates's parents made a televised appeal for information on Monday.
In response the force received more than 300 calls.
