POLICE investigating the murder of schoolteacher Julie Parkin are continuing to appeal for information.

On Tuesday, June 27, the 39-year-old was found with fatal injuries in a house in Kirkwall Close in Sunderland. 

"As part of the investigation police would like to speak to anyone who saw a black 5 door Mazda 6 saloon car NL59 MWJ in or around Sunderland Marina between 10pm and midnight on Monday, June 26," said a spokeswoman for Northumbria Police.

"It's believed a man and woman in their 30's were with the vehicle and it’s possible they may have parked up in that area and taken a walk."

  • Anyone with information is asked to contact Northumbria Police on 101 quoting reference 13 27/06/17. 
  • A 35-year-old man has been charged with murder.
