Police have released the name of an elderly woman who was murdered at an isolated Worcestershire house.
Betty Yates, 77, was a retired teacher who had taught in the Wyre Forest area.
A post-mortem examination held overnight confirmed that Mrs Yates had died from a stab wound after she was attacked with a knife.
Her body was found by police at her riverside cottage, Riverscroft, which is off Dowles Road and about two miles from Bewdley.
A police spokesman said Mrs Yates had lived there alone since the death of her husband seven years ago.
The spokesman said she was well known locally and had a son and a daughter who do not live in the area.
She was also a member of Bewdley Civic Society and local art, book reading and walking clubs.
Her body was found by police on 4 January after officers were contacted by a friend who had been unable to contact her and was concerned for her welfare.
