On July 24, at around five in the morning, Anita Rose, 57, left her home in Brantham, Suffolk, to walk her springer spaniel Bruce.
Around 6.25 a.m., a cyclist discovered the mother-of-six unconscious and suffering from severe head injuries on a track road close to the sewage works and railway line near Rectory Lane.
Bruce’s lead was tied around Ms. Rose’s leg, and she was only dressed in her bra, leggings, and sneakers after her jacket was stolen. There was no injury to the dog.
At Cambridge’s Addenbrooke’s Hospital, she passed away four days later.
Roy Barclay, 55, who does not have a definite address, was taken into custody on Monday and is currently facing charges.
On Wednesday, he is scheduled to appear before the Ipswich Magistrates’ Court.
In August, it was revealed that the reason for Ms. Rose’s death was not determined by a post-mortem.
