Elizabeth Clark: Man arrested over death of 91-year-old who was a 'well loved family member and friend'
Police have arrested a man in connection with the death of Elizabeth “Betty” Clark in Kiveton Park today (December 5).
91-year-old Betty Clark was discovered with serious injuries on Peveril Close on 11 September and, despite hospital treatment, tragically died a month later on November 12.
Detectives launched an investigation into her death, and a 47-year-old man was arrested today on suspicion of murder.
He has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Betty's family are being supported by specialist officers and continue to ask for their privacy during this difficult time.
Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Adam Watkinson said:
"We have been working hard to determine the circumstances surrounding Betty's death.
“Our investigation has progressed significantly and we have arrested a man as our enquiries continue.
“Betty was a well-loved family member, friend and neighbour, and our thoughts remain with her loved ones during this extremely difficult time."
Detectives are still interested in speaking to anyone who may have information that could assist with their investigation.
They are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen something suspicious in the Kiveton Park area on Wednesday 10 or Thursday September 11.
