A new appeal has been made over a 30-year-old murder, in which a 64-year-old was killed with a fork, and had her home set alight.

Doreen Morris, 64, was found dead at her Anglesey home which had been burgled in 1994.

An inquest last year found she was stabbed to death with a fork after disrupting the burglary.

Now, 30 years later, Crimestoppers has appealed for information - with a reward of up to £20,000.

It said: "We know that sometimes it’s too difficult for people to go to the police about what they know - and that can be for a range of reasons including fear of intimidation or loyalties.

"However, this case is absolutely tragic and, with so many years passing, relatives of Doreen and the wider community deserve to know what happened – and who was responsible."

Mrs Morris was murdered at her home in the early hours of 25 March 1994.

Her remains were found in a bedroom at her home and several stolen items were found across various locations in the surrounding area.

The property was set alight after it was broken into through a broken back door.

Mrs Morris' family, including her daughter, spent years campaigning for an inquest to establish the facts of how she died.

Crimestoppers added: "After so many years, if you’ve held on to information that could help bring justice for Doreen, now is your opportunity to right the wrong, out of tragedy, and make a difference."
