Further Questioning For Jo Yeates Suspect
Detectives are continuing to question a 32-year-old man on suspicion of murdering landscape architect Joanna Yeates.
Police investigating the 25-year-old's death detained a suspect in the early hours of yesterday morning after uncovering fresh evidence.
Specialist search teams were then moved into a neighbouring flat to where Miss Yeates lived in Bristol, where the man registered to the address is a Dutch engineer, but Avon and Somerset police have not yet officially named the man being held.
Police closed Canynge Road and have put up scaffolding next to Miss Yeates's flat.
The development comes 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.
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.
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.
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.
