VALERIE Graves’ family have made an emotional plea for new information to help catch her killer almost a year after she was murdered in Bosham.

The grandmother was brutally killed with a hammer in a property in Smugglers Lane which she was house sitting on December 29, 2013.

Almost exactly 12 months on, Valerie’s two children Tim Wood and Jemima Harrison have urged anyone with any information to come forward to help police finally put their mother’s killer behind bars.

Click on the video to hear the tearful appeals from Tim and Jemima, who were joined at Monday’s press conference by Valerie’s sister’s partner Nigel Acres.
