A wanted man who was on the run for two years has been found guilty of murdering a woman who was walking her dog last summer.

Anita Rose, 57, was found with serious injuries, akin to those seen in high-speed motor accidents, on a footpath in Brantham, Suffolk, on 24 July.

Ms Rose, who was found with her dog Bruce's lead wrapped around her leg, died at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, four days later.

Roy Barclay, 56, of no fixed address, denied killing her but a jury at Ipswich Crown Court delivered its unanimous verdict after deliberating for just over two hours. He is due to be sentenced on 6 August.
