Memories going back a decade will be revisited a week today when the family of murdered St Mawes grandmother Lyn Bryant mark the tenth anniversary of her death.

Mrs Bryant was murdered on October 20, 1998 while walking her dog less than a mile from home at Ruan High Lanes.

The 41-year-old had been stabbed in the neck, chest and back.

At the time officers interviewed every male between 14 and 70 on the Roseland Peninsula. Six months after her death her glasses were discovered just a few feet from the spot where her body was found.

Despite a thorough investigation that remains ongoing her killer has never been found and the case remains unsolved.

As the ten-year point approaches an appeal for fresh information has now been made, in the hope that someone may now feel able to come forward and help solve the mystery.

Now leading the investigation, dubbed Operation Grenadine, is Detective Superintendent Michele Slevin.

She said: “Everyone’s circumstances change as time moves on. For whatever reason someone may have felt they could not come forward before, perhaps because of loyalties or ties to someone they knew well, yet they always suspected some sort of involvement in this case.

“Now must be the time for them to put those long held suspicions behind them by bring them to our attention. Speaking up now would allow them to move on and give Linda’s family a chance of closing this terrible chapter of their lives.

She added that changes in forensic science meant police could now apply newly discovered techniques to both original and new evidence.

“We are always looking for new ways to continue this enquiry,” she said.

The Crimestoppers Trust is offering a “substantial reward” for information and callers have been promised that discretion will be taken when making follow up inquiries.

The police incident room can be contacted on 01208 264228 or Crimestoppers can been called on 0800 555111, with the reference number 135/10/10/08.
