A man arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman in the Yorkshire Dales has been bailed.

Lamduan Armitage was found dead over 20 years ago.

The case that became known as the "Lady of the Hills" began in 2004 when Lamduan's body was found by hikers at Pen-y-Ghent.

Detectives were not able to work out who she was... until media coverage of the case got to her native Thailand 15 years later and her family came forward.

Police arrested a 61-year-old man last week on suspicion of murder - he's now been released on bail pending further enquries.

Investigators are now looking to speak with anyone who have known Lamduan and her family - whilst she was living in a village near Doncaster - or in Preston during 2004.
