The bodies of the girls were found in a dense wooded area of Wild Park, on the edge of Brighton, half a mile from their homes. A Sussex Police spokesman said:"We have ensured that the families of Karen and Nicola, and the victim of Russell Bishop in 1990, are fully aware of this significant development in the case and we will continue to keep them informed."
