Jennifer Abbott, 69, was discovered with tape over her mouth.

She was only found after a neighbour helped her worried niece break down the door.

Ms Abbott was last seen walking her pet corgi in Camden, North London, on June 10. She was found fatally injured three days later.

Police believe the death could be linked to the theft of her diamond-encrusted Rolex and issued a photo of the high-value timepiece.

Screaming

An ambulance crew was called at around 6pm on June 13 and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
