The parents of suspected honour killing victim Shafilea Ahmed have been re-arrested in connection with her murder.
The 17-year-old disappeared from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, in October 2003, sparking a major police search.
Her decomposed remains were discovered in Cumbria five months later.
Shafilea's father Iftikhar and mother Faranza were initially arrested on suspicion of kidnapping but the Crown Prosecution Service had insufficient evidence.
A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: "A 50-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman were arrested ... on suspicion of the murder of Shafilea Ahmed."
