Police continue to call for witnesses, footage in murder inquiry

Stacey Klimovitch.

More than three weeks after Stockton grandmother Stacey Klimovitch was murdered in the doorway of her home, detectives are continuing their call for witnesses or anyone with footage from the area on the night in question to come forward.

The well-known former swimming teacher was shot in the chest with a shotgun after answering the door of her Queen Street townhouse just before 8pm on June 9.

Ms Klimovitch's alleged murderer is thought to have escaped down Little William Street.

As of Friday, no-one had been arrested or charged in relation to the fatal attack.

Newcastle detectives and State Crime Command Homicide Squad police have formed Strike Force Backhouse to hunt for the 61-year-old's killer.

A statement from police on Friday said the strike force investigation was ongoing and anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage from Stockton around the time of the attack should contact Newcastle police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
