(about 2 hours later) | |
Police have reconstructed the last known movements of a 24-year-old hairdresser murdered as she walked her dog in Carmarthenshire woodland. | |
Kelly Hyde left her car at Brynteg Garage in Tycroes, for repair and set out to walk home with her dog Scrappy last Thursday. | |
Her body was found in woodland off a bridle path in Pantyffynnon in Ammanford, on Sunday. | |
A 16-year-old boy has been arrested and is being questioned by police. | |
Ms Hyde had been battered around the head with a blunt instrument. Detectives are still searching for the murder weapon. | |
She had not been sexually assaulted. | |
Dyfed-Powys Police Superintendent Alun Harries said: "We've had a lot of very good information from the local community and one of the reasons we are here today is to reconstruct Kelly's last movements with a view to just reminding people we are very much still looking for any bit of information whatsoever for the final part of the jigsaw." | |
He added: "I'm appealing for anyone who has any information regarding Kelly's murder to contact us." | |
