Imraan Vohra was found sexually assaulted and strangled in Avenham Park, Preston on 15 July 1985.

In 2006 the police identified a DNA profile from the evidence found on Imraan Vohra, however, the man that it matched had since died.

A man that was initially considered a suspect in Imraan Vohra's murder committed suicide by taking a massive overdose of alcohol and aspirin tablets, blaming suspicion on him and police harrasement.

When the police broke into his house in St David's Road in Preston, after neighbours spotted untouched milk on his doorstep, they found a neatly printed card propped up on a bedside cabinet near his body which was laying sprawled across a bed.

At hi inquest on Tuesday 18 February 1986, the Coroner said that he thought it relevant that the contents of the note should be made known. The note read:

A detective sergeant denied that there had been any harrssment.

The alcohol content in his body had been 520mg, which was more than a normally lethal dose, and a biochemical report revealed that he had taken somthgin like 40 aspirin tablets.

When the Coroner returned a verdict that he had killed himself, he said:

Imraan Vohra had lived in James Street in Preston. He disappeared after leaving Frenchwood Junior School on 13 July 1985 and his body was found two days later.
