It's now five weeks since Nahid Almanea was murdered in Colchester.And yet those responsible still haven't been found.

Today her family urged her killer to hand themselves in.

The statement read:

A team from Essex Police spent a week in Saudi Arabia speaking to Nahid's family and gathering intelligence.

Nahid Almanea was stabbed 16 times while she walked along the Salary Brook Trail on 17th June. She was studying at the University of Essex.

In March, James Attfield was murdered in Colchester in a similar frenzied knife attack.

But despite the volume of exhibits, both the murder weapons, and those guilty of using them, still have not been found.
