Anita was found with serious injuries by a cyclist on a track road in Ipswich back in July
Detectives investigating the brutal murder of a woman whilst walking her dog in Ipswich back in July this year have arrested a 55-year-old man on suspicion of her murder.
In a statement released today, Suffolk Police said:
“Police have arrested a man following the murder of Anita Rose in Brantham.
Anita, 57, had left her house at around 5am on Wednesday 24 July 2024 to take her springer spaniel dog, Bruce, for a walk but was found critically injured by a member of the public at approximately 6:25am.
She was found by a male cyclist lying on a track road near the sewage works and railway line, off Rectory Lane, unconscious and he called an ambulance. With her jacket taken, she was found wearing only her bra on her top half, as well as leggings and trainers on her lower half, with Bruce’s lead wrapped around her leg. The dog was not harmed.
Anita was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital having sustained serious head injury and facial injuries, where she sadly died four days later (on Sunday 28 July).
This morning (Monday 21 October), officers arrested a 55-year-old man in Ipswich on suspicion of murder.
The man is currently being questioned at Martlesham Police Investigation Centre, where he remains.
Specialist officers are supporting Anita’s family and keeping them updated on the investigation.
