Second murder arrest over missing Nuneaton woman

A second man has been arrested in connection with the disappearance of a woman from Nuneaton.

Katie Love, 48, went missing on 23 February. The case is being investigated by Warwickshire Police's major crime team which says it is increasingly concerned she may have come to harm.

On Monday, a 48-year-old man from Nuneaton was held on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.

It follows an arrest on Friday of a 49-year-old man, also detained on suspicion of murder, who has since been released under investigation.

Last weekend, police shared an appeal asking for information about a silver Peugeot 206, which detectives believe was linked to the disappearance.

The force said it then received a call and located the car, but the 48-year-old remained missing.

Police say she has connections to Skegness but is known across the Nuneaton, Hartshill and Kingsbury areas of Warwickshire.

Det Insp Gareth Unett, who is leading the investigation, said: "First of all, we want to reassure the community we're doing everything we can to try and find Katie safe and well.

"Sadly, given the length of time that has passed, we're also considering the possibility she may have come to harm."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Warwickshire Police, quoting incident number 143 of 23 February.
