Police release new images in Anita Rose murder investigation

Detectives investigating the murder of Anita Rose in Brantham have released new images of her missing jacket and phone case. The move comes as part of ongoing efforts to gather crucial evidence in the case.

Why it matters: These missing items could provide key information for the investigation into Anita's death four days after she was found unconscious during her morning dog walk on July 24th.

Key details:

  • Anita's missing jacket is confirmed to be a Regatta Calderdale II in Duchess Dark Cerise from the Autumn/Winter 2017 range.

  • Police are also seeking a black wallet-style quilted phone case with a gold crown and stud detail.

  • Anita was found unconscious on a track road near the sewage works and railway line off Rectory Lane at approximately 6:25am on 24 July.

  • She died on 28 July at Addenbrooke's Hospital from a serious head injury.

Suffolk Police have relesed images of the missing items of interest

What they're saying: Detective Superintendent Mike Brown stated, "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."

The investigation so far:

  • Police have recovered Anita's Apple iPhone but are still searching for the case.

  • Forensic work, searches, house-to-house enquiries, and CCTV analysis are ongoing.

  • Specialist officers are supporting Anita's family throughout the investigation.

What's next: Police urge anyone with information about the missing items or other aspects of the case to come forward.

The bottom line: Anyone with information that may assist the inquiry is asked to contact Suffolk police quoting 37/41580/24 via the MIPP Portal, Crimestoppers, or by calling 101.
