TV appeal over pensioner's murder
The flats where Mr Pritchard lived
Bogus officials conned their way into the Pritchards' flat
Detectives investigating the murder of a Wolverhampton pensioner are hoping a television reconstruction will help find his killers.

Kenneth Pritchard, 84, died from a heart attack after he and his wife confronted two bogus council officials at their flat in the Graisley area of the city in May.

The conmen hit Mr Pritchard across the head as he tried to protect his 83-year-old wife, Flora.

Mr Pritchard managed to phone police after the men left, but then collapsed. Officers were unable to resuscitate him.

The BBC's Crimewatch programme will feature a reconstruction of the murder on Thursday night.
