Murder police offer £20,000 reward
A £20,000 reward is being offered to help bring a killer to justice 10 years after a pensioner was killed
Police were called after family members and a neighbour discovered the body of 86-year-old Una Crown in her bungalow in Magazine Lane on Sunday, 13 January, 2013.
She had been seen alive two days previously and had spoken to a friend over the phone at about 5 pm the day before her body was discovered by police.
The death was initially treated as unexplained but, after a post-mortem examination concluded Mrs Crown died from stab wounds to her neck and chest, a murder investigation was launched.
Mrs Crown's clothing had also been set alight, in an apparent attempt to disguise her injuries and destroy evidence.
Now Cambridgeshire Police have appealed on national television for help to bring the killer to justice – and offer a £20,000 reward for information to bring them to justice.
Detective Chief Inspector Iain Moor, appeared on BBC Crimewatch Live on Wednesday.
He said: “We still believe the answer to solving this case lies within the local community. I am urging anyone who has information but not yet come forward, to do the right thing and get in touch – someone out there knows what happened to Mrs Crown.” Annabelle Goodenough, Crimestoppers’ South East Regional Manager, said :“If you know something, even if you think it’ s in significant, your information could make a positive difference and you could be eligible for a reward.
