Police have also released an interview conducted with Corns.
Corns denied murdering Heather and claimed he had left her in the park on the night of Sat 17 Feb and gone home. He said he believed she’d killed herself. But a jury convicted him today of her murder and he will be sentenced in due course. https://t.co/4rHA6cejDR

Detective Inspector Mike Buck led the investigation on behalf of the force’s Major Crime Investigation Team.
DI Buck said: “I would like to pay tribute to Heather’s family and friends for supporting the investigation, for their courage and the dignity they showed at court.
"A major part of the trial was CCTV provided by local businesses and private householders for which I am very grateful. Finally I thank the investigation team and the other professionals that have worked many long hours to get justice for Heather.”
Corns will serve a life sentence with a minimum of 17 years.
