Essex Police say they have made a significant development in the search for the killer of a Saudi Arabian student.
This morning officers drained a local pond as part of investigations into the murder of Nahid Almanea and are preparing to reveal more details about a suspect seen running near where her body was found on Tuesday.
The white man, aged between 18 and 25, of medium build and with dark hair was spotted to coming out of an alleyway which indirectly links to to the Salary Brook Trail, where the 31-year-old was stabbed.
Officers are continuing to carry out door-to-door inquiries in their search for the suspect.
Reporting from Colchester, Sky's Joe Tidy said that police are describing it as a significant development rather than a major one, and that the police investigation is running in parallel with that looking into the murder of James Atwood in March.
"We believe police have more details of the suspect and that these details are linked to the draining of this pond," he said.
"Police say there are obvious similarities with the murder of James Atfield that are too significant to ignore. Jim was stabbed more than a hundred times in March, so police are looking to work alongside each other in both cases."
Mr Atfield's mother, Julie Finch, told Sky News she was concerned the killer or killers have not yet been found.
"You turn on the news and every story is a murder or someone is in court for murder. Until you're in a situation where you've lost someone you don't notice it.
"But now I'm terrified for my girls. I won't go out on my own and it proves with this latest murder that it doesn't matter what time you go out or where you are. Everyone has to be so much more vigilant."
Ms Almanea was stabbed 16 times while walking along a path on Tuesday morning.
The student from Saudi Arabia had been taking an English language course at the University of Essex as part of her studies for a life sciences PhD.
Police released a CCTV picture of the 31-year-old taken moments before her death and a map of her likely route from the home she shared with her brother to the spot on the Salary Brook trail where her body was found.
