Suffolk Constabulary's Major Investigation Team is pursuing multiple lines of inquiry to uncover the circumstances surrounding Rose's death.
This includes house-to-house interviews, scene searches, CCTV analysis, and ongoing forensic work.
Key details:
Anita Rose left her home around 5am on Wednesday, July 24, to walk her springer spaniel, Bruce.
A passerby found her unconscious on a track near the sewage works and railway line off Rectory Lane at approximately 6:25am.
Rose was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital with a serious head injury and passed away on Sunday morning, July 28.
Arrests made:
A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and later re-arrested for murder.
A 37-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods related to the incident.
Both suspects have been released on police bail until October 25, 2024.
What they're saying: Detective Supt Mike Brown said, "Residents will continue to see additional police officers patrolling and engaging in the area. We recognise that many people will feel concerned, but I can reassure you that we are working hard to identify what has taken place and that this investigation is a priority for the Constabulary."
Public appeal: Police are seeking information about Rose's missing pink waterproof jacket, believed to be from an outdoor clothing brand like Regatta.
Safety advice: Det Supt Brown advised residents concerned about going for walks to "remain vigilant, tell someone where you are going, what time you expect to be back and let them know when you are home."
What's next: Police plan to conduct an anniversary check in the Rectory Lane area on Wednesday, July 31, and are working with British Transport Police to explore additional leads.
How to help: Anyone with information is urged to contact Suffolk police, quoting reference 37/41580/24, via the MIPP Portal, Crimestoppers, or by calling 101.
