The parents of a young woman found dead in suspicious circumstances thousands of miles away are considering legal action against the Foreign Office.

Mystery still shrouds the death of Laura Hill, 25, who was found in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last October.

Although her parents Alison and Kevin Hill, of Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne, were originally told the nurse had died of natural causes on a park bench, an autopsy report in November revealed she had actually been discovered in the first floor hallway of an apartment building.

The case has become big news in the Argentinian media and journalists flew in to Sussex for a press conference called by her parents today.

Speaking at the Chatsworth Hotel, in Eastbourne, Mr Hill said: "We are grateful to the Argentinian media for picking up the story.

"Already they have discovered the police have Laura¹s belongings, when we were told they didn't.

"The case is still open but it has basically been shelved. We just want the truth."

"The Foreign Office have got to take some responsibility for that. We have been constantly misinformed.
