A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder over the death of a woman more than 30 years ago.

Shani Warren's body was discovered gagged and bound in Taplow Lake, Buckinghamshire, on Easter Sunday 1987.

The 26-year-old was last seen driving from her home in Stoke Poges to her parents' house in Gerrards Cross on Good Friday.

Thames Valley Police said a 65-year-old man had been arrested and remained in police custody.

A BBC Crimewatch appeal in 1987 said Ms Warren's car was seen in a layby near the lake in the early hours of Easter Saturday but it was not until that evening her body was discovered by a dog walker.

Her cause of death was given as drowning, the report on Crimewatch said.
