Popular 91 year old died in September 2025
A second man had been arrested by police investigating the suspected murder of a South Yorkshire woman, aged 91.
Betty Clark was found with serious injuries in her home on Peveril Close, Kiveton Park, Rotherham. on Thursday September 11 last year.
She was taken to hospital where she received treatment, but sadly died as a result of her injuries on November 12 2025, sparking a police investigation into her death.
Detectives have today (April 30) made a second arrest as their investigation continues.
A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. He has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Police said after her death. an investigation was launched by detectives from the Major Crime Unit.
They said early enquiries suggested Betty had been a victim of theft the day before she was found with her injuries in September.
Detective Inspector Adam Watkinson, the senior investigating officer leading the investigation, said: "It has been nearly six months since the death of Betty and we have been working extensively to find answers for her loved ones.
"Betty was extremely loved by her family, friends, and was well known in the local community. She is missed by many.
"This second arrest is a significant development in our investigation, but our enquiries remain on going and we are still appealing to anyone who may have any information, no matter how small you may think it is, to come forward."
A 47-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of murder in December, remains on police bail at this time.
Detectives are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the Kiveton Park area between 10 and 16 September 2025.
