Here is some info from a bus enthusiast friend who I asked about the bus which was reported as an item of interest with this case.
Murder police appeal for sightings of decommissioned Brighton bus after woman's death
Quote: “In particular, we would like to speak to anyone who saw a decommissioned double-decker Brighton and Hove bus in the north London area between 7.30pm on August 20 and 3pm on August 23.

The bus had been decommissioned and purchased as a private bus.
(I do have the registration number but for the owners privacy will keep this private).

Further details about the bus seen near the crime scene:-
V5C Issue Date was 23 Feb 2021 (The V5C is a paper document issued by the DVLA to the registered keeper of a vehicle and is used to confirm proof of ownership and the specific details of a vehicle. It's also used to inform the DVLA of a change of ownership, for a change of name and address, or if a vehicle has been modified,written-off or scrapped)

The vehicle is described as being in Sorn status ((Statutory Off Road Notification)
You must make a SORN in any of the following situations:

• your vehicle is not taxed
• your vehicle is not insured (even for a short time, for example because there’s a delay renewing your policy)
• you want to break a vehicle down for parts before you scrap it
• you buy or receive a vehicle and want to keep it off the road (you cannot transfer a SORN from the previous keeper)

Do you think the bus that the police were interested in tracking down is thought to have come to play here.

Do you think the bus that the police were interested in tracking down is thought to have come to play here.

You are asking if she was potentially murdered on this bus?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Maybe wanting to know if the driver of the bus, or other occupants saw something.

You are asking if she was potentially murdered on this bus?

I was wondering if police had been thinking a vehicle like this may have been used to transport the body although nothing in those terms was ever mentioned regarding the bus. As Tootsie Tootsie points out the owner/driver of the bus may have been a possible key witness the police wanted to question. The bus is Sorn so maybe this is the reason no owner came forward straight away if they perhaps had no tax or insurance with the vehicle.

'Woman strangled with dressing gown cord and had acid on her'

 

[evilwise]

I would guess that members of the public actually saw the bus dumping the body or more likely circumstantially but strongly suggesting it (saw the bus park, heard the doors open and close, saw the bus leave, discovered the freshly dumped body) and/or perhaps didn't get the plate of the bus either but it's pretty recognizable and the owner is pretty suspicious.

Hopefully they find their concrete evidence soon or the eye witnesses are willing to make positive IDs
