An elderly couple brutally murdered in the Caribbean told police the name of the person they suspected of stealing £100k from their bank account just 48 hours before they were killed, Jamaican police have confirmed for the first time.
Grandparents Charlie and Gayle Anderson, 74 and 71, were found dead in Jamaica just over a year ago - on June 22, 2018.
They'd moved to the eight-bedroom retirement home they'd built in the Mount Pleasant district just 12 months earlier.
Police said the couple, from Gorton, had suffered 'serious injuries', their bodies had been burnt and the house petrol bombed.
Now police have disclosed what they know so far.
The news includes confirmation that 48 hours before the murders were discovered, Mrs Anderson had visited a police station to report the name of the person she suspected of stealing £100,000 from her bank account.
The detail emerged in a video conference between Jamaican police and Mr and Mrs Anderson's family.
Officers also informed to the family that very little forensic evidence was recovered from the scene, with just half a fingerprint discovered.
It's also thought the killers wore gloves in attempt to cover their tracks.
Police have said Mr and Mrs Anderson's mobile phones, which have never been recovered, were initially switched off after the murders, but have now been turned back on again.
The family say they're still waiting for a date to be set for an inquest as toxicology samples have not been sent off for testing.
Stacey, of Droylsden, said: "I can't believe that a year has passed, a whole year without my grandparents and it still doesn't seem real.
"I don't think I'll ever be able to put in to words what it feels like for us, the heartbreak and distress of not having them here and thinking what they went through is unimaginable.
"I struggle to comprehend how a year had passed and there is no evidence that can lead to a suspect being charged.
"I won't rest until we, and everybody else, knows who did this.
"With all that I can do, I will continue to chase and fight until we get what we deserve - answers and convictions."
In March Jamaican police confirmed Saquino Farr, a 24-year-old labourer previously employed by the Andersons, had been charged with fraud in connection with the case.
He has appeared in court and was bailed.
The Jamaican High Commission has been contacted for a comment.
