Click HERE for all our stories on the Brambridge Murder Investigation
IT HAS been Hampshire's
largest ever manhunt, with
police devoting more than
25,000 hours, fielding 551 calls,
taking 981 statements and
obtaining 2,187 exhibits.
But three months after grandmother
Georgina Edmonds was brutally tortured
and murdered in her Brambridge home,
her killer remains at large.
Officers have flown to Poland in their
search for the murderer, sent information
to residents' mobile phones using bluetooth
technology, and a £6,000 reward has been
put up in the hunt for clues.
Now detectives are hoping to gather more
vital leads by showing their key information
to shoppers as they queue at Eastleigh
Post Office.
The murder squad has put together a
DVD showing CCTV footage of someone
attempting to use Mrs Edmonds' cash card
hours after she was killed on January 11.
The images show a man wearing a fluorescent
jacket trying to withdraw money at
the ATMat Tesco Express in Twyford Road,
Eastleigh, at about 10.40pm that night.

The DVD, being played on rotation at the
High Street post office, also features e-fit
pictures of four men seen in the area on
the day of the murder.
"We hope that by playing the DVD inside
the post office we will keep the incident
fresh in people's minds and encourage
more people to come forward," said Det
Chief Insp Paul Barton.
Despite already receiving a good
response, he believes the person who horrifically
stabbed the 77-year-old to death is
likely to live locally, and could have confessed
to someone they know.
"This is still very much an active investigation
and we still have a full team working
on the inquiry," said DCI Barton.
"We are still urging people to come forward,
in particular, with information
about the man who used Mrs Edmonds'
cash card and the other men who were
seen in the area on the day of the incident.
"These people could well be witnesses or
just people in the area on the day but we
need to identify them in order to eliminate
them from the inquiry."
Anyone with any information about this
incident should call the Operation
Columbian investigation team at Hulse
Road on 0845 045 45 45, or Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Information can also be sent to Freepost,
Operation Columbian or e-mailed to
operation.columbian@hampshire.pnn.police.uk.

All a bit OTT and only a £6K reward is derisory. Whats the point with so many other crimes going unattended and unsolved. Waste of the limited resources that Hampshire police are always complaining about.
