Three newspapers are currently running poster appeals in partnership with their local police forces to help solve two murders and a rape.

The NewcastleEvening Chronicle, Cambridge News and Hull Daily Mail have printed and displayed the posters around the areas where the crimes took place.

The Evening Chronicle and the police have stepped up their appeal for witnesses to come forward following the murder of a 58-year-old woman by publishing the poster below.

Teresa Mennell died from a brain haemorrhage from a single blow to her head outside the Metropole pub in Gateshead on February 22.

But police are still unsure about the circumstances leading up to the row and want to hear from anyone in or near the Metropole pub when the incident took place.

The Hull Daily Mail is hoping its posters will provide police with information into the killing of Donna White, who went missing around six weeks ago. The appeal follows an emotional plea in the Mail for information by Donna’s parents.

And the Cambridge Evening News has so far printed 70 posters after a teenager visiting a sick relative in the Addenbrooke’s Hospital was attacked near one of the hospitals entrances.

Det Insp Chris Ford, from Parkside Police Station said: “The poster campaign will target the Addenbrooke’s Hospital community, the 5,000-6,000 people who either live, work or are patients at the site.”
