Police investigating cold-case murder of Norfolk hairdresser make fresh appeal for help from LGBTQ community

Police investigating the cold-case murder of a hairdresser from Norfolk 25 years ago are making a fresh appeal for help with their inquiry from the LGBTQ community.29-year-old Russell Marsom from Hunstanton was found dead in a water-filled ditch by the side of the road on the A10 at Milton near Cambridge in 1996.

Russell worked in Norfolk but regularly travelled to Cambridge for nights out.

Police believe there are people from the LGBTQ community who may have information about the case, but who didn't feel able to come forward at the time.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the Jesus Green and surrounding Cambridge city areas, including the Dot Cotton Club, between 10pm on Saturday 30 March, 1996, and 10am the following day.

They are also interested in speaking to anyone who may have been travelling in either direction along the A10 at Milton between 9.45pm on Saturday 30 March and 1am on Sunday 31 March 1996, and may have seen a vehicle and/or pedestrian in the area just outside Milton.
