Detectives investigating the death of Rotherham woman Betty Clark are appealing for information one-year on from the incident which led to her death.
On 11 September 2025, 91-year-old Betty, who was also known as Elizabeth, was found with serious injuries in her home on Peveril Close, in the Kiveton Park area of Rotherham.
After being taken to hospital for treatment, she later died as a result of her injuries on 12th November 2025.
An investigation was launched and extensive enquiries including complex forensic analysis and thorough CCTV trawls were undertaken to ascertain the circumstances surrounding Betty's death.
Detectives believe that Betty sustained her injuries on 10 September and that her bank card was stolen in this attack. Her card was then used to purchase scratch cards and alcohol in the Kiveton Park area between Wednesday 10 September and Tuesday 16 September.
Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection to Betty's death and all of them have been bailed.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Adam Watkinson said:
"It has been a year since Betty was attacked. A year in which her family have had to live every day with an unimaginable grief they did not deserve.
"All while knowing those responsible for this callous assault remain free to go about their lives.
“I know Betty is greatly missed by her family and our priority remains the same - to provide answers for her loved ones and ensure those involved in this incident are brought before the courts.
"We have made progress in our investigation, arresting three people, but we continue to appeal to our communities for any information which could assist us in securing justice for Betty.
"Did you see something suspicious in the Kiveton Park area between 10 and 16 September? Any information, no matter small, could prove to be crucial to our investigation. If you know something, please get in touch."
