Anita Rose was found critically injured by a cyclist back in July
Detectives investigating the murder of Anita Rose in Brantham have charged a man with her murder.
In a statement released tonight, Suffolk Police said:
“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).
On Monday 21 October officers arrested a 55-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
He was taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
Roy Barclay, 55, of no fixed abode, was charged tonight (Tuesday 22 October), with murder. He is due to appear before Ipswich Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Wednesday 23 October).”
