Police appeal over grandmother beaten to death

British detectives investigating the unsolved murder of a grandmother who was bludgeoned to death a year ago have asked all men who visit, work, or live in the area to voluntarily attend DNA screening sessions.

Artist Valerie Graves, 55, is believed to have been murdered with a claw hammer in a ground floor bedroom in Smugglers Lane, Bosham, near Chichester, West Sussex, on December 30 last year.

The culprit has not been caught despite a large investigation.
