A £20 ,000 reward is being offered up for any information that leads to a conviction over a cold-case murder in Wiz-beach

Detectives are appealing for help in catching the killer of an 86-year-old pensioner from Wisbech, who was found dead in her bungalow on Sunday, 13 January, 2013.

Una Crown's body was discovered by family members and a neighbour, and a post-mortem examination revealed that she had died from stab wounds to her neck and chest. Her clothing had also been set alight in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence, but the fire did not spread to the rest of the house.

Detective Chief Inspector Iain Moor, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, is set to make an appeal for information on a TV show - for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer.

He said that they still believe that someone in the local community has information that could help solve the case and urged anyone with information to come forward.
