Sussex police ‘committed to solving’ Vishal Mehrotra murder case

Father had criticised force for failing to reinvestigate killing of 8-year-old son who disappeared in 1981

Sussex police are to re-examine the case of a murdered schoolboy who disappeared on his way home more than 40 years ago.

Vishal Mehrotra, eight, vanished from west London in July 1981 and part of his remains were found in Rogate, West Sussex, seven months later. No one has been convicted for his murder.
