A 77-year-old woman who lived alone in Rewlatch, was found dead by her former son-in-law on Friday, September 18.

The previous day the woman’s former son-in-law had spoken to her to arrange to drop off his two dogs on Friday morning, between 06:30 and 06:45.

When he arrived at the house he noticed the gate and garage were open, as well as the burglar and kitchen doors. He went into the house and found the woman laying in the passage with her knees tied up and mouth gagged. He then realised she was dead. The former son-in-law phoned his brother to contact the police. Blood stains could be seen leading from the garage to the kitchen.

A flat screen TV and a Hyundai I10 had been stolen from the house.
