A second man has been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation by West Midlands Police into the disappearance of a 34-year-old woman who went missing last month.

This follows a previous arrest of a 53-year-old man on suspicion of kidnapping and murder, the missing woman, Reanne Coulson.

Reanne was last seen in Coventry on 21 May at around 9.46pm when she visited a food bank at St Mary & Benedict Church on Raglan Street.

She is known to travel to Leamington.

The suspect, aged 42, was arrested in the early hours of yesterday morning (24 June) on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.

The 53-year-old man previously arrested in connection with her disappearance was released on bail with strict conditions while the investigation continues.

Detective Superintendent Jim Munro, who is leading the investigation, said: "Our investigation is moving very quickly and this second arrest is a significant development.

"But it's still really important that we hear from anyone who has information about her movements or her whereabouts to get in touch. Information will be treated in the strictest of confidence."

Speaking on Monday, Reanne's family acknowledged that she had been a sex worker, but her twin sister Kirsten Coulsen, said: "Reanne is not only my sister but my twin sister, a mum, a daughter and an aunt.

"Her life has not been easy for the last few years and we as a family are aware that she lived a chaotic lifestyle.

"Please, if you know anything of what she was doing that day or who she was with that will help, we are worried sick and need your help finding her.

"She is loved by many. We will find you Reanne no matter what."

A dedicated website has been set up where information can be provided, and can be found here, or you can call 101, quoting log 6621 of 18 June.
