Key fob missing from murder scene

Residents were asked to check their gardens and bins for the key ring

Detectives investigating the murder of a 77-year-old Hampshire woman have released a picture of a key fob missing from her home since the killing.

The body of Georgina Edmonds was found by her son, Harry, at her home in Kiln Lane, Otterbourne, on Friday.

A 37-year-old man was released on bail and three other men were released without charge.

The bright-coloured key ring had two keys attached to it.

Det Ch Insp Paul Barton, from Hampshire Constabulary, said: "It is possible that the key fob has been discarded in the area surrounding Mrs Edmonds' home or further away in neighbouring villages or towns."

Post-mortem tests showed Georgina Edmonds died from head injuries

He appealed to Otterbourne residents to check their gardens and bins for the key ring and other discarded items of property belonging to Mrs Edmonds.

"There are now around 150 police officers involved in this investigation and we are determined to arrest the person who committed this brutal murder."

He added: "I would like to speak to anyone with any information about Mrs Edmonds death, particularly dog walkers, joggers, ramblers and anyone who knew Mrs Edmonds to contact us.

"Similarly we'd like to speak to anyone who used public transport in that area who may have seen anything suspicious."

Police have released CCTV images of a man using Mrs Edmonds' card at a cash machine on Friday after she had died.

Detectives have also appealed to Otterbourne residents to submit their own CCTV to police to help with their investigation.
