KAREN Hales's killer may have been sick at the scene, leaving vital evidence.
Nine years ago today the Ipswich mum was stabbed to death in front of her 18-month-old daughter.
Now it emerges that vomit was found on her body, which her murderer tried to torch.
Today, The Evening Star gave the murder inquiry a boost by adding £4,000 to the reward, which now stands at £10,000. The reward will be paid out to the person who provides information leading to the conviction of the killer.
Steve Henry, a spokesman for Suffolk police, today said: "Forensic examination did uncover a small amount of vomit on Karen's body.
"We do retain all evidence and deposits from scenes. These are regularly reviewed to take into account the move forward in forensic science."
