A man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a 17-year-old girl who went missing on her way home from a nightclub more than 20 years ago.

The naked body of Victoria Hall was found in a ditch on Sept 24 1999, five days after she was last seen alive.

She was last seen on the morning of Sept 19 around 2.20am after she and a friend parted ways after a night out at the Bandbox nightclub in Felixstowe.

None of her clothing or possessions have been found.

Suffolk Police reopened their investigation in 2019 after receiving fresh witness information, which they would not expand upon.
