A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 17-year-old girl in 1999.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Victoria Hall, from Trimley St Mary, went missing on her way home from a nightclub in Felixstowe, Suffolk, in September that year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Her naked body was discovered in a water-filled ditch five days later but her killer has never been found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On Wednesday morning, Suffolk police arrested a man, who they say has not previously been arrested as part of the inquiry, on suspicion of murder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Victoria was last seen alive in the early hours of 19 September 1999, in High Road, Trimley St Mary, close to where she lived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She had left home the previous evening to go to Bandbox nightclub in Bent Hill, Felixstowe, with a friend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The pair had stayed at the club until 01:00 BST the next morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After getting some food at the Bodrum Grill in Undercliff Road West, they had parted at 02:20 – just yards from Victoria’s home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The next day her parents discovered she had not returned home. Five days later her naked body was found in a ditch beside a field by a dog walker in Creeting Lane, Creeting St Peter – about 25 miles away from where she was last seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Suffolk Police reopened the case – known as Operation Avon – in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The arrested man currently remains in police custody where he is being questioned.<\/p>\n
