A £10,000 reward has been offered for information about the "brutal" murder of a grandmother on the first anniversary of her death.

Mumtaz Member, 56, died from head injuries at her home in Leicester, on 12 December 2015.

Her sons - Mohammed Member and Shafiq Member - together with Shafiq's partner Fatima Patel were charged with murder but the charges were later dropped.

Police believe there are people with information who have not come forward. They have also released CCTV images of potential witnesses who were in Holmfield Avenue on the night of 11 December and early hours of 12 December.

Det Ch Insp Mick Graham from the East Midlands Major Crime Unit said it was "a rather brutal case" and it was important to get justice for Mrs Member.

He said: "Sadly we are 12 months down the line and we are still looking at all lines of inquiry. We are seeking support and information from the community because I think the answer is in the local community. There are people that know key information who feel they can't come forward."
