A 61-year-old man has been arrested for the 2004 murder of Lamduan Armitage, known as the ‘Lady of the Hills’
For 15 years, she was known as the ‘Lady of the Hills.’ Her identity remained a mystery until her parents saw a news report in 2019.
They contacted the police, believing the woman could be their missing daughter. DNA testing confirmed it was Lamduan, who was 55 at the time.
She was a married mother of three living in northern England when she died.
Recently, a 61-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of her murder. He is currently in police custody for questioning.
Authorities urge the public and media to avoid speculation to ensure a fair investigation. They also ask for respect for the privacy of Lamduan’s family.
This case gained attention after a cold case review by North Yorkshire Police. The breakthrough came from media coverage and DNA testing.
The police are continuing their investigation into this tragic case.
