A 25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of the murder of 21-year-old Libby Squire in February this year has been released under investigation, Humberside Police have said.

Miss Squire was reported missing in the early hours of February 1 after a night out in Hull with friends.

Just over six weeks later, on March 29, her body was recovered from the Humber Estuary.

On Wednesday, Humberside Police revealed that a man had been arrested on suspicion of murdering the student and was being questioned by detectives.

Police announced on Thursday afternoon that he had been released.

The Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Superintendent Martin Smalley, said: “Proceedings are active and I would remind people to please refrain from any speculation, as the investigation is very much live and continuing.

“There are further enquiries still being carried out and there are constant investigative developments and procedures that are ongoing.

“The majority of the additional analysis stage is now complete, with a small number still pending final results. A file is being prepared for the Crown Prosecution Service as the investigation progresses," he added.

“My heartfelt thanks go out to Libby’s parents for their continued understanding and patience.

"They have been kept informed of all the developments in the investigation and they will always maintain our support.”
