Abigail to be shown picture of Cazaly

Detectives are planning to show Abigail Witchalls a picture of suspect Richard Cazaly to see if she can identify him.

One officer said: "This will be an important part of our investigation." It was not known when police would be able to take the picture to Mrs Witchalls in her hospital bed.

Detectives have been unable to speak to the 26-year-old since she was interviewed for nine hours in hospital two weeks ago.

Mrs Witchalls's family say she is still very ill, and very upset at the recent death of her grandmother.

They have asked police to give her more time to recover before speaking to her again.

Meanwhile results of DNA tests on swabs taken from the buggy of Mrs Witchalls's son Joseph are expected in three to four weeks.

Mrs Witchalls told police how, after she was stabbed in the neck in the footpath in Little Bookham, the attacker grabbed the buggy and threw it on top of her.

The tests could help eliminate potential suspects, including gardener Cazaly and Terry Barnes, a 25-year-old mechanic who was arrested in connection with the attack and later released.
