A 69-year-old man who was arrested yesterday (Tuesday 14 April) on suspicion of the murder of Carol Clark has been released on bail.
Carol was 32-years-old when her body was found partially clothed in undergrowth at the side of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal in March 1993. She had been strangled and her neck had been broken.
The man arrested was first detained on suspicion of Carol’s murder in April 2023 and had remained under investigation. He was subsequently rearrested by our Major Crime Investigation Team yesterday following a significant development in their investigation.
After being interviewed by detectives, the man, from Gloucester, was released on bail while further enquiries are carried out.
Carol’s family has been updated and we will continue to keep them informed as our investigation progresses.
