Police plea to 'do right thing' over missing woman
People who know what happened to a missing woman who disappeared 25 years ago should "do the right thing", police have said. Kellie Pratt, who was 28 and a sex worker, was last seen outside The Rose pub in Queens Road, Norwich, on 11 June 2000. She took a call 10 minutes later and said she was with a "punter" - a person who remains unknown. Her body has not been found. "I believe the answer to her disappearance lies within the people she knew in Norwich, and it is those people I would ask to examine their consciences and to come forward and speak to us," said Norfolk Police's cold case manager, Andy Guy. "There are rumours circulating about what happened to Kellie, but in order to resolve this investigation, those with first-hand information would need to do the right thing. "After 25 years people's circumstances will have changed and I hope this milestone will be enough to encourage individuals with relevant information to have the courage to come forward." Ms Pratt, who was from Newcastle, had a chaotic lifestyle and knew only a "small bubble" of people in the Norwich area, Mr Guy had previously said. Police found the caller who rang her Nokia 6100 at 23:30 BST on the night she disappeared, but the client was never identified, and her phone was not found. No clues were uncovered during a search of her accommodation in Loddon. Mr Guy said the police investigation remained open and active. "Time has passed, but we continue to work on this case and follow up lines of inquiry to find who is responsible and to bring them to justice," he added.

Murder arrest after body found in canal
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a body was discovered in a canal in Sheffield. Police were called to Tinsley Canal, near Staniforth Road, in Darnall, at about 19:15 BST on Tuesday after the body of a 39-year-old man was found in the water. The death of the man was being treated as "unexplained", meanwhile a 35-year-old man who was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the incident remained in custody, a South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said. They added that the incident had been referred to the force's Professional Standards department and to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, as the 39-year-old had visited a police inquiry desk earlier on Tuesday. Officers asked anyone who had been on the stretch of canal towpath from Shirland Lane to Staniforth Road between 17:00 BST and 19:15 BST on Tuesday to get in touch.
