A HOUSEMATE of missing Southampton woman Zeenth Ditta has appealed for her to come home. The 44-year-old has been missing from her home in Fritham Road, Harefield, for a week.

Audrey Hallman said today: "It doesn't matter what state she is in. I just want her to come home or get in touch somehow.

"We are all very worried about her. We haven't got a clue where she could be. She will probably be wearing the same clothes she was a week ago and will probably be in quite a distressed state.

"We think she is probably somewhere in the Southampton area."

Police are concerned that Ms Ditta may be especially vulnerable as she was being treated for depression.

Police are appealing for any information about the woman, who may be going under her former name of Gaye Stark. She is described as being of mixed race, of a large build, with short dark hair and brown eyes. She was wearing glasses and possibly green trousers when she was last seen. Anyone who may have seen her should call Bitterne CID on 0845 045 4545.
