COPS hunting for the murderer of a mum-of-six have released pics of her missing jacket and phone case as they hope to snare the suspect.

Anita Rose, 57, was discovered unconscious near Rectory Lane in Brantham, Suffolk shortly after 8am on July 5.

The mum-of-six had left her house in the early hours of the morning to take her springer spaniel Bruce for a walk.

She was found by a member of the public along the country path with serious head injuries and taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge before passing away four days later.

Suffolk Constabulary launched a murder investigation but still no one has been charged.

Now, cops have released images of her missing jacket and phone case in a bid to solve the case.

Officers have recovered her iPhone but are appealing to find the case described as a black wallet style quilted case with gold crown and stud detail.

Suffolk Police have also released replicated images of her missing waterproof pink zip-up jacket.

The coat, a Calderdale II in Duchess Dark Cerise from Regatta’s autumn/winter 2017 range, is no longer produced.

Detectives think Ms Rose would have followed one of her usual dog walking routes and believe her missing items could be the key to a crucial breakthrough in the case.

Detective Superintendent Mike Brown said: “This update has come from continued work alongside Anita’s family who have assisted us in identifying the make and model of the jacket as well as providing us with an image of Anita’s phone case.

“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 and speak with us.

“I’d like to thank Anita’s family for their continued support throughout this investigation, their co-operation has been integral to this case.”

By August 8 officers had spoken to more than 630 people during the probe, taking around 90 statements.

There have been three arrests in connection with the inquiry – a man aged in his 20s and a 45-year-old man on suspicion of murder, and a 37-year-old woman on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

All three were later released on bail and no charges have been brought in the investigation.

Police said officers are continuing to carry out forensic work, conduct searches and house-to-house enquiries, and analyse CCTV footage.

Suffolk Constabulary said Ms Rose would have followed one of her usual dog walking routes – starting around 5am at Palfrey Heights, where she turned onto a track road off Brooklands Rise which she followed to Rectory Lane, before turning onto The Chase and the A137 Ipswich Road.

From there she would have turned onto Newmill Lane, reaching the river before turning back and retracing her steps up to Ipswich Road.

Anyone with information regarding suspicious people or vehicles seen in the area is urged to get in touch with police.
