Third suspect released on bail in Anita Rose murder investigation

A man in his 20s, arrested on suspicion of murdering Anita Rose in Brantham, has been released on bail. This development brings the total number of suspects released on bail to three as the investigation continues.

What's new: Suffolk Police have released a man in his 20s on bail until 24 October 2024 in connection with the murder of Anita Rose in Brantham.

The big picture: This is the case's third arrest and subsequent bail release, which has kept the Suffolk village of Brantham on edge since late July.

Timeline of key events:

  • 24 July, 6:25am: Anita Rose was found injured on a track near Rectory Lane

  • 28 July: Anita Rose dies in Addenbrookes Hospital

  • 27 July: Two people from Ipswich were arrested after the recovery of Anita's iPhone

  • 31 July: Man in his 20s from Brantham arrested on suspicion of murder

  • 3 August: Man in his 20s released on bail

Arrest details:

  1. A 45-year-old man from Ipswich: Arrested on suspicion of murder

  2. A 37-year-old woman from Ipswich: Arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods

  3. A man in his 20s from Brantham: Arrested on suspicion of murder

All three suspects have been released on bail until October 2024.

Why it matters: The release of all suspects on bail suggests the investigation is complex, with no clear resolution in sight.

What's next: Police continue to investigate and appeal for information. As part of his bail conditions, the suspect from Brantham is banned from entering Brantham and Manningtree.

How to help: Anyone with information should contact Suffolk Police quoting reference 37/41580/24 via:

The bottom line: As all suspects are now released on bail, the Brantham community remains anxious for answers in this ongoing murder investigation.
