Single mother Victoria Couchman described herself as a lover of comedy and romance films, clubbing and, of her musical tastes, "nethin wid a beat" on the Bebo website.

Children playing in Redgeland Wood in the Queensway area, found a skull last Monday, around a mile from where Ms Couchman lived with her father.

Further remains were later found, including an upper left leg, pelvic bone and tibia, which were discovered near each other and did not appear to be buried.

Detectives arrested Ms Couchman's father, named locally as Tony Couchman, on suspicion of murder on Saturday and they were on Sunday granted an extra 36 hours, until 11.22pm on Monday, to charge or release him.

On Bebo, Ms Couchman writes: "Hiya, im Vicky, im 18 nd av a lil girl. I liv in hastings. I av brown hair but im always diein it.

"I love to go out clubbin!!! Luv yuhoo."

She describes her relationship status as "complicated" and says she dislikes spiders.

She adds as her motto: "Live life like it's your last day."

One message on her profile reads: "Is this vicky couchman, if you are please inform the police... we are worried about you." Another reads: "Hii vicky hun wt u bin up to. Aint sin or spoke to u in ages."
