Police have issued a fresh appeal for information following the death of a woman months after she was found seriously injured at home.

On September 11, 2025, Elizabeth Clark - known as Betty - was found with serious injuries at her home on Peveril Close, in the Kiveton Park area of Rotherham.

She was taken to hospital where she received treatment.

However, on November 12, 2025, she died as a result of her injuries.

Following Betty’s death South Yorkshire Police’s Major Crime Unit launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.

Extensive enquiries were conducted by officers, including trawling through CCTV, conducting house to house enquiries, and complex forensic analysis.

Detectives believe that Betty sustained her injuries the day before she was found, on September 10.

They also discovered her bank card was stolen that day and was used for multiple transactions between Wednesday, September 10, and Tuesday, September 16, around the Kiveton Park area.

Detective Inspector Adam Watkinson, who is the senior investigating officer on this case, said: "Our investigation has been progressing, with a team of officers working hard to find answers for Betty's family.

"Our enquiries have suggested that Betty was unfortunately a victim of a theft the day before she was found with her injuries. Our enquiries remain on going but we are particularly interested in anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the Kiveton Park area between 10 and 16 September.

"Any information, no matter how small, could be vital to our investigation.

"Betty was well-loved within her local community, by her many friends, family and neighbours, and our priority remains the same - to find answers."

The 47-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder in December, remains on police bail at this time.
