Police investigating the suspected murder of a dog walker have cordoned off two new areas of interest.

Anita Rose, 57, was found injured and unconscious near Rectory Lane in Brantham, Suffolk, on 24 July.

She had taken her springer spaniel for a walk at about 5am that day and was found by a member of the public at about 6.25am.

Officers said there will be a continued police presence in the area.

Police are still searching for the pink jacket Ms Rose was wearing.

The jacket is a zip-up, waterproof jacket and is believed to be from an outdoor clothing brand, possibly Regatta.

Three people have been arrested in connection with Ms Rose’s death.

A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of murder last Wednesday. He was bailed on Saturday until 24 October.

A 45-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder, and a 37-year-old woman who was held on suspicion of handling stolen goods, have also been released on police bail until 25 October.

A post-mortem failed to find the cause of Ms Rose’s death, after which Suffolk Police said officers were continuing to investigate the case as murder.
