Officers discovered the body at about 5.30pm in undergrowth near to the observatory on Bidston Hill following a phone call from a concerned member of the public.

Detective Inspector Mark Tivendale, said: "I would appeal to anyone who has any information which could help us with our inquiries to come forward and tell us. Hannah was first reported missing to police on Friday, 18 May 2012, at 2.25pm and we understand that she was last seen on Wednesday afternoon. I am particularly interested in speaking to anyone who may have seen her since Wednesday to come forward as their information will help us to build up a picture of what happened to Hannah.

"We believe that Hannah knew the offender and we are appealing to anyone who may have been on Bidston Hill near to the observatory and saw anyone acting suspiciously to contact us.

"A Family Liaison Officer has been appointed and is supporting the family as they try to come to terms with their tragic loss."
