Detectives are offering a £50,000 reward for information after an elderly woman died following a violent robbery in Greater Manchester.
87-year-old Eileen Blaine was in her home on Castleton Avenue in Stretford on 3 February 2017 when a man forced his way into the house. He knocked her to the floor and hit her with an unknown object while demanding cash and jewellery. He then forcibly stole her wedding ring from her finger.
While he ransacked upstairs she managed to escape and alerted her neighbours.
She was treated by paramedics on the night for bruises over her face and head but was taken to hospital a few days later. Her health deteriorated and it was found she had sustained a number of broken ribs and internal injuries.
Eileen was discharged from hospital to continue her recovery at home but never returned to full health. .
On 1 April Eileen was sadly found dead at her home address.
Nobody has been arrested in connection with the robbery; however police are now offering a £50,000 reward for anyone with information that leads to the successful conviction of the offender.
The offender is described as white, about 5ft 8in, of slim build and was wearing a dark coloured jacket with the hood covering his face.
