Murder police find mobile phone | |
(about 11 hours later) | |
Police investigating the murder of a 77-year-old woman in her village home have found the victim's mobile phone. | |
Georgina Edmonds was found dead by her son at her home in Kiln Lane, Brambridge, Hampshire, on 11 January. | |
Specialist teams found the phone as they searched a path that runs along the River Itchen. | |
Detectives released a map earlier showing a number of people they want to talk to, who were seen in the area on the day Mrs Edmonds was killed. | |
Det Ch Insp Paul Barton, of Hampshire Constabulary, said: "This is a significant find as it indicates that the person or people responsible for Mrs Edmonds' death have used this footpath to leave the area. | |
These people may have entirely legitimate reasons why they were in the area Det Ch Insp Paul Barton | These people may have entirely legitimate reasons why they were in the area Det Ch Insp Paul Barton |
"I would urge anyone who used this path, which runs from Brambridge towards Eastleigh, emerging at Highbridge Road, Twyford Road and Bishopstoke, on 11 January to contact us." | |
Post-mortem tests showed Mrs Edmonds died of extensive head injuries. | |
Mrs Edmonds' daughter, who works as a nurse in Kenya and Sudan and has since returned to England, appealed for help in finding her mother's killer. | |
A distinctive key fob, Mrs Edmonds' cash card, cheque book and handbag have all been missing since the killing. | A distinctive key fob, Mrs Edmonds' cash card, cheque book and handbag have all been missing since the killing. |
