ONE year ago today, December 10, pensioner Alice Rye was murdered at her detached home in Poulton Road, Spital and found by neighbours next morning, Wednesday December 11. The crime remains unsolved despite a full scale murder inquiry and it being on Crimewatch UK.
Detective Chief Inspector George Denton asks people to think back to those dates. "We need to hear from anyone who might know anything about Alice's murder." Police still want to identify a man seen crossing Poulton Road at 5.50pm on December 10 and a couple at the Mobil petrol station, Brimstage Road, at 2.45pm that day.
