Police have issued an appeal for information on the 30th anniversary of the murder of a woman whose body was found in a field after she disappeared while out buying a takeaway.

Vera Holland, 47, was last seen on the evening of November 14 1996, when she left her home in Shinfield, Wokingham, to get her family dinner from a nearby KFC, which remains at the same location today.

Her body was discovered by firefighters who were called to reports of a blaze near a fly-tip some 36 hours later.
