POLICE are following up new leads into the murder of Polish woman Beata Bryl after an appeal was broadcast on BBC One's Crimewatch programme on Monday.
They believe one phone call could lead them to the actual location of her murder - before she was found dumped in woodland near Wooburn Common, Buckinghamshire.
The body of 23-year-old Beata was found in woodland off Hedsor Lane on July 29 last year. It had been set alight. But police believe she was killed at an inside location before being taken to the rural area.
She was last seen around 11.30pm on July 28 boarding a train at Leytonstone Tube station, east London.
The Crimewatch update programme, broadcast after the appeal, revealed that a viewer had phoned in saying he had heard Beata tell someone on a mobile phone that she was going to a location in west London. Police believe this location, which was not publicly disclosed, could be close to where she was murdered.
Bed linen which Beata's body was wrapped in has also been identified.
Police are also still looking for a man who may have Beata's rucksack, which she was seen carrying on CCTV cameras.
Last year, her friend received a phone call from a man saying he had found a rucksack but didn't know who it belonged to.
He claimed he had called a business card inside the bag.
Programme viewers were also told that Beata had been beaten over the head at least 22 times and set alight with an accelerant.
Detective Inspector Colin Seaton said: "We have had a number of calls where people may be able to identify potential witnesses for us, which completes one of the objectives; to locate witnesses. It is too early to say whether information received will prove key, but we are hopeful the programme's national viewers will spread the word that we are still working on this case."
He added: "We are keen to hear from anyone who may be able to shed light on this case and would ask those who read about the investigation or who saw the Crimewatch appeal, to think back to what they, or the people they know, were doing that night."
Beata had been living in north east London, but her whereabouts days before her death are unknown. There is still a £10,000 reward for information leading to the successful conviction of her killer.
