The family of a woman whose murder remains unsolved 30 years after she was killed has urged anyone with information to come forward.

Vera Holland, 47, was last seen alive on 14 November 1996 after she left her home in St Barnabas Road in Reading, Berkshire, to buy a takeaway from KFC in Shinfield Road.

She failed to return home and was reported missing. Her body was found two days later on a fly-tip close to the Thames Water pumping station on the A327 between Arborfield and Shinfield, about three miles (4.8km) away. She had been strangled.
