No charges four weeks after dog walker death

Her family said Anita Rose was "well known and loved in the community"

Four weeks after a woman was killed while walking her dog, police investigating the case have yet to charge anyone in connection with her death.

Anita Rose, 57, from Brantham, Suffolk, was walking her dog in the village when she was attacked on 24 July, sustaining a serious head injury. She died four days later in hospital.

So far, three people have been arrested and bailed in connection with the attack, including two on suspicion of murder and one on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

In a statement Suffolk Police said officers would continue to carry out inquiries in Brantham and the investigation was being treated as a "priority".

A picture of Anita Rose, wearing the pink jacket she was last seen in, was released by police at the start of the inquiry

Ms Rose left her house at 05:00 BST on 24 July to take her springer spaniel, Bruce, on their usual walk.

At about 06:25 Ms Rose was found unconscious on a track near the sewage works and railway line, off Rectory Lane.

She was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge with a serious head injury, where she died on 28 July.

A post-mortem examination was unable to establish a cause of death and police have said more tests would be carried out.

Police believe Anita Rose was wearing a bright pink Regatta waterproof zip-up jacket prior to the incident

Ms Rose's black Apple iPhone case has still not been found

At the weekend, Suffolk Police released images of Ms Rose's missing jacket and phone case.

They said her missing jacket, a waterproof pink zip-up Regatta Calderdale II, was from its Autumn-Winter 2017 range, in Duchess Dark Cerise.

Her Apple iPhone had been found, but her phone case, a black wallet-style quilted case with gold crown and stud detail, was still missing.

Det Supt Mike Brown said at the time: "We continue to believe these missing items could hold key information or evidence to the investigation and ask anyone with any information to come forward."

Four weeks on from her death, he said: “Since we launched this investigation, our officers have painstakingly preserved and searched the scene and surrounding areas, taken an extensive amount of statements from witnesses, which includes house-to-house visits in the area, and continue to search through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage whilst the processing of forensic evidence continues to be completed and analysed.

"This all remains ongoing and the investigation continues to be treated as a priority to the constabulary in an effort to establish the circumstances around Anita’s death."

He said help provided by the community had been "invaluable" and encouraged anyone with information to come forward.
