Murder police in appeal to killer

Post-mortem tests showed Georgina Edmonds died from head injuries

Detectives investigating the murder of a pensioner in her village home have appealed to her killer to come forward.

Georgina Edmonds, 77, was found dead by her son at her home in Kiln Lane, Brambridge, Hampshire, on 11 January.

Nearly four months after the attack, officers urged the killer to "end the terrible uncertainty".

Police said they have received 634 calls from the public, taken 1,232 statements and seized 2,415 pieces of evidence in the case so far.

Det Ch Insp Paul Barton, of Hampshire Police, appealed to the murderer: "Only you will know what led to the attack on Mrs Edmonds

'Complete confidence'

"I appeal to you to give yourself up and end the terrible uncertainty within the victim's family and the local community.

"I believe there are still people who have vital information who have not yet come forward.

"If you have suspicions about someone you know and are unsure about coming to the police, I would like reassure you that we can deal with your information in complete confidence," Det Ch Insp Barton added.

Detectives released a map in February showing a number of people they want to talk to, who were seen in the area the day Mrs Edmonds was killed.

Post-mortem tests showed Mrs Edmonds died of extensive head injuries.

Four men were arrested on 14 January. Three were released without charge while a 37-year-old man was released on bail.
