Cold case murder suspect still on bail after arrest in 25-year-old investigation into murder of Andrew Bedford

A Minster man arrested in connection with a murder in Cambridgeshire 25 years ago remains on police bail.

The 47-year-old was detained on January 6 on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiracy to prevent a lawful burial.

It was one of nine arrests made by officers as part of a renewed investigation into the death of Andrew Bedford, who went missing in September 1990.

Detectives believe the 27-year-old was shot at a garage in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, but a body has never been found.

Fragments of bone are thought to have been discovered during a 13-day search on the edge of the town last year.

One of those arrested was released without charge but the others, six men and a woman, have also had their bail extended until May 10.

Those arrested were:
