FIVE key questions about the death of a dog walker remain unanswered, including what happened to an unharmed pet, a missing iPhone and the hunt for witnesses.
Police investigating the suspected murder of mum-of-six Anita Rose, 57, are also searching for her missing zip-up pink jacket, which they believe she was wearing before the incident.
Anita died yesterday after being found with serious head injuries last week in Brantham, Suffolk, with a 45-year-old man later arrested on suspicion of murder.
The mum was found unconscious on a track near Rectory Lane shortly after 8am on Wednesday.
Anita was rushed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital but died on Sunday morning, police said.
An unnamed man was taken into custody by investigators on Sunday afternoon and was due to be questioned at Martlesham Police Investigation Centre.
He has since been re-arrested on suspicion of murder, Suffolk Police have said.
Meanwhile, a 37-year-old woman from the Ipswich area was also arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods in connection with the incident.
Cops confirmed the pair have since been released on police bail with conditions to return on October 25.
But it remains to be seen how the second arrest is connected to the alleged murder.
Other key questions that need answering, which could help officers, solve the case, include how did her iPhone go missing?
What happened to her pink jacket and how did the dog escape without any injuries?
What extra detail can witnesses provide?
Detective Superintendent Mike Brown said: “This is a very serious incident following which Anita has now sadly died of her injuries.
“The family continue to be supported by specially trained police officers as part of the investigation.”
“The investigation to establish the full circumstances surrounding the offence continues, as do enquiries to establish the cause of death.
“Though I can now confirm that the scene has been lifted on Rectory Lane.
“Local residents should expect to see a continued police presence over the next few days while enquiries take place, while additional officers will also be in the area to provide reassurance to the local community.
“Whilst searches and house to house enquiries take place, we are keen to speak to anyone who saw anything on Wednesday that they think might be useful to the police investigation and anyone living in the area that has CCTV or doorbell cameras.”
A tribute issued by Anita’s family read: “Our mum was well known and loved in the community.
“She was brutally taken from us devastatingly too early, and we have been robbed of so much time with her.
“She wasn’t just a mum of six, she was also a grandma to 13, a long-term partner, a mother-in-law and a special friend to so many.
“Someone somewhere must know something, and we urge them to come forward.
“We want to thank everyone for their love and support. All we ask is for everyone to cherish their time with their family and loved ones.”
Anyone with any information or any knowledge of the incident that could help the police with their enquiries should contact Suffolk police, quoting 37/41580/24.
