Devon and Cornwall Police has renewed a public appeal for information to find the killer of Exwick schoolgirl Kate Bushell who was murdered 25 years ago this week.
Kate was killed on Saturday 15 November 1997 as she walked a neighbour’s dog near her home. Her body was found in a field off Exwick Lane in Exwick by her father. She had died from a savage knife wound to her throat.
On the 25th anniversary of her death, detectives remain convinced that someone holds the final clue to bring Kate’s killer to justice and are urging them to finally break their silence.

Although the construction is expected to be completed by spring 2017, the playing field will need...
