Jennifer Kiely Eastbourne seafront murder on BBC Crimewatch

Jennifer Kiely was killed 16 years ago on Eastbourne seafront, she was 35 years old.

In January Sussex Police made a new appeal over her death in January 2005 after new evidence came to light.

An appeal will also be made on the BBC Crimewatch today (March 9).

Previously it was revealed that mother-of-three Jennifer was stabbed to death and her body was set on fire.

A child's buggy was found next to her body in the shelter at Holywell in the town.

It will be the second time her case has featured on the programme, after detectives made an appeal and £10,000 reward for information that might lead to the capture of her killer back in 2005.

Now Detective Superintendent Emma Heater and Jennifer’s mother Margaret will appear on the programme.

Previously, Ms Kiely spoke about the death of her daughter and said: “I always find the anniversary an upsetting time and there isn’t one day when I do not think about Jennifer and what happened to her.

“I support this appeal and anything that will increase the chance of my daughter’s killer being caught.”

Detective Superintendent Heater said: “Please do not hesitate to come forward if you have any information, either something you remember from 2005 that was not reported or that you may have heard since.

“As a result of the further forensic evidence we have the ability to eliminate people from our enquiry.

"Jennifer’s family deserve to know what happened to her and who is responsible.”

Sussex Police said: “On the early morning of 22 January 2005 a fire was reported in a shelter on the lower promenade at Holywell on Eastbourne sea front.

Jennifer's body was found in the shelter. She had sustained multiple stab wounds and her body had been set on fire.

“The initial investigation only closed in May 2007. In 2009 the case was assessed and deferred for further assessment as there had been no new intelligence or other development.

“However since 2011 it has been a live case while forensic reviews and further work have been commissioned.

“Since 2017 police have been working on the new forensic line of enquiry relating to unidentified DNA found at the scene.
