The parents of Clifton murder victim Joanna Yeates have revealed that their beloved daughters bedroom remains untouched, three years after she went missing.

While David and Teresa Yeates cleared out the landscape architects flat in Canynge Road, Clifton, last year, they cannot bring themselves to clear out the room in which their daughter grew up at the family home in Ampfield, Hampshire,

Joanna, 25, disappeared on December 17, 2010, after a works night out on Park Street.

Her snow-covered body was found on Longwood Lane, Failand, on Christmas Day

She had been strangled to death by next-door Vincent Tabak, who was jailed for life and a minimum of 20 years at Bristol Crown Court in 2011.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Mr Yeates said: We are as well as we are going to be. What has happened has happened and we try to make the most of what we have left, which is what Jo would have wanted.

The two of us dont visit Jos grave regularly, but go now and again. She is still so much a part of us, going to her grave to remember her is not necessary.

We get through life but everything has adjusted. When the phone rings now I dont expect to hear her at the other end.

But as families across the country prepare for a Christmas get-together, the day will pass as any other for Mr and Mrs Yeates because they remember Joanna every day.

Of course it is special, said Mr Yeates. As is today, the anniversary of the day she disappeared. But we think of her all the time. We remember her all the time. Christmas Day is no different.
