Johanna Young murder: Police launch new appeal 25 years on
Police say the key to solving the murder of a Norfolk schoolgirl 25 years ago lies within the local community. They're re-appealing for information about the death of Johanna Young in Watton.
The 14-year old disappeared from her family home on 23 December 1992. Her body was found on Boxing Day the same year when a member of public was walking his dogs in Watton and found her trainers in the undergrowth.
A search of the area took place and later that evening Johanna's body was discovered approximately 120 metres from where her trainers had been found. She was face down in the water with some of her clothing removed.
Her body was covered in scratches and a subsequent post-mortem examination revealed that her death was caused by drowning and a fractured skull.Despite a major investigation taking place in 1993 with a number of arrests of local men, no one has ever been charged in connection with Johanna's death.
