DETECTIVES investigating the 'murder' of Ann Marie Pomphret have urged residents living close to the crime scene to check their bins.
More than one week on from the death of 49-year-old, enquiries are still ongoing to bring her killer to justice.
The 49-year-old, known to many as Marie, was found dead at her stables off Old Alder Lane on the evening of November 2.

Since then, a heavy police presence has remained in the area and forensic officers, including underwater search teams, have been spotted in the area.
A 50-year-old man arrested on suspicion of her murder has been released on conditional bail.
A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "We’d like to thank the community for their co-operation so far, but we still need your help.
"We are asking residents within the highlighted area of Winwick to check their bins, land, garden waste piles or anything else that might contain something that has been discarded by a passer-by.
"Such items could be absolutely pivotal to our investigation. Please note, there is no need to check bins that have already been collected after November 2.

"If you find something that you don’t believe was put there by you, please do not handle it but call us immediately on 101 and ensure that the bin is not collected for refuse.
"For those who haven’t been spoken to by police already and have CCTV footage on their premises that includes the footpaths and roadway we would like you to contact the police as the footage could provide vital clues to the identity of Ann-Marie’s killer."
Anyone with information has been urged to call Cheshire Police on 101.
