Police continue to appeal for witnesses as they try and solve the murder of a 76 year-old South-East London pensioner – found tied-up in her home.
Cat lover Pamela Wheeler (pictured) was found dead at the address in Newacres Road, Thamesmead on July 22.
Officers believe Mrs Wheeler was attacked at her home at some point between Thursday afternoon, July 19, and the following morning.
Two separate witnesses have described two males acting suspiciously on that Thursday evening.
The two males - no further descriptions available - were seen near to a car at the front of the victim’s house.
Detective Chief Inspector Graeme Gwyn of the Homicide & Serious Crime Command said: “Mrs Wheeler was found dead in her own home, with her wrists and ankles tied.
“I need to hear from anyone with any information that will help us bring to justice whoever carried out this shocking and tragic crime.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the incident room at Lewisham on 020 8721 4805 or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
There has been no arrest at present.
A post-mortem examination at Greenwich Mortuary on July 24 did not establish a formal cause of death. Police await the results of further tests.
Neighbours last saw Mrs Wheeler on Thursday.
She usually leaves out bowls of food for cats, and neighbours noticed the bowls were empty on Friday morning.
