Fresh images of cold case suspect released by police

Detectives investigating the murder of a student at a London club 20 years ago have released enhanced images of a man they believe may be responsible for stabbing her to death.

Camille Gordon, 23, who was training to be a nursery assistant, was stabbed in the heart on the doorstep of the Blue Bunny Club in Archer Street, Soho, in the West End of London, on 1 March 2004. She was working part-time at the club as a hostess to fund her studies.

The Metropolitan Police say Camille was working on the door of the club, which offered female company (but with no sexual activity taking place), at around 6.30pm, when a man approached her.

He entered the club, paying an admission fee of £5, and went to a private area with Camille. When another member of staff presented the male customer with a bill for £375, he was unable to pay the full amount, paid £80 and was escorted to the exit.

The customer left the venue and walked along Archer Street towards the junction with Rupert Street before returning to the venue shortly after, but upon seeing a different member of staff he raised both hands in a submissive manner and went off towards Rupert Street.
