Crimestoppers has announced a £20,000 reward for crucial information leading to a breakthrough in the Anita Rose murder investigation in the hope the incentive will encourage people to come forward with vital details about the case.

Why it matters: Despite three arrests, police have yet to charge anyone in connection with Anita's death. This reward could potentially unlock new leads in the case.

Key details:

  • The reward is available for three months, expiring on 3 January 2025.

  • Anita Rose, 57, was attacked while walking her springer spaniel on 24 July.

  • Three people have been arrested and released on bail, but no charges have been filed.

What they're saying: Philip Breckon, Crimestoppers regional manager, told the BBC, "We know it can be difficult for some people to speak directly to the police, which is why our charity is here for you. You may think your information is insignificant, however, it could make all the difference."

The investigation so far:

  • Anita died in hospital from injuries sustained during her morning dog walk.

  • Police have conducted extensive enquiries, including CCTV reviews and house-to-house questioning.

  • Investigators are still seeking Anita's missing cerise jacket and black phone case.

What's next: Crimestoppers is urging anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing their guarantee of anonymity for all tipsters.

The bottom line: Those with information can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
