Divers find murdered Amelie's purse in river
[Filed: 24th August 2004]
Police hunting the murderer who bludgeoned Amelie Delagrange to death have found some of the French student's property discarded in the Thames, several miles away.
Miss Delagrange, 22, died last Thursday night in Twickenham, south-west London, after being attacked as she crossed a cricket field.
Her handbag and mobile phone were missing, leading police to suspect the attack might have been a robbery. Detectives revealed that police divers searching the river under a bridge at Walton-on-Thames found housekeys, a Sony Walkman CD player and a purse which they believe belonged to Miss Delagrange.
The stretch of river is a drive of up to 20 minutes from where Miss Delagrange was murdered.
Det Chief Supt Andy Murphy, who is leading the murder hunt, appealed for anyone who was in the area around the bridge at 10.20pm on Thursday to contact police.
