Man charged over murder of woman attacked walking her dog

A man has been charged over the murder of a woman who was attacked while walking her dog.

Anita Rose, 57, left her house to take her springer spaniel Bruce for a walk at about 5am in Brantham, Suffolk, on 24 July.

The mother-of-six was found unconscious with serious head injuries on a track road near the sewage works and railway line near Rectory Lane at about 6.25am by a cyclist.

Ms Rose's jacket had been taken, and she was only wearing her bra, leggings and trainers, with Bruce's lead wrapped around her leg. The dog was not harmed.

She died four days later at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.

Roy Barclay, 55, of no fixed abode, was arrested on Monday and has now been charged with murder.

He is due to appear before Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

It was reported in August that a post-mortem failed to find the cause of Ms Rose's death.
