Now 34 years on from the Pinky's Massage Parlour murder, Cheshire detectives have issued another appeal for information regarding the unsolved case.

On the evening of Sunday 9 June 1991, Lynne Trenholm was working on her own at Pinky's Massage Parlour, Boughton, when someone entered the parlour and stabbed the 29-year-old repeatedly. 

She was subsequently discovered in an upper room in the premises.

A murder investigation was launched with more than 700 people being interviewed by police, including many clients of the massage parlour and those who worked there.

However, the killer remained at large and the case remained open.

Further reviews took place, and appeals were issued to help try and solve the murder.

It is possible there may be some people who never came forward at the time, who may hold valuable information. Police are appealing for them to make contact.

DI Eli Atkinson said: "Unsolved murders are periodically reviewed and this is one that we are currently looking at.

"We believe it would be timely to ask those who may have information but have not yet come forward to reconsider and get in touch to help us find the person responsible for Lynne's murder.

"Cases of this nature are never formally closed, they remain open for any new information to come to light that we can identify and explore further.

"So if you have any information that may help, please get in touch."

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police here.

Information can also be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
