'A BELOVED grandma was bludgeoned to death in her own home exactly two decades ago – but her mystery killer is still at large.
Nora Tait’s heartbroken family have issued another desperate plea to find her killer after she was brutally murdered in October 2005.'
'Nora, 69, was found in her home in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, with her untouched fish and chips going stale on the dining table.'
''And the only item taken after the horrifying murder on Stone Close Avenue was a black leather purse.''
''In the years following, cops received vile taunts, such as twisted messages in Christmas cards, in relation to her death.''
''The uneaten food allowed police to narrow down the time-frame for the monstrous attack took place.''
Authorities described him as a white male, between 5’5 and 5’8 ft tall, with a medium build.
He is estimated to be aged between 20 and 30 at the time of Nora’s harrowing death.
In the months around the brutal killing, “knock-off lad” was said to be selling door-to-door food items.
He was said to have flogged cheese, tea and coffee in the area close to Nora’s home.
The man was believed to have short brown hair, was clean shaven and had a clear complexion.
He reportedly wore a long khaki-coloured Parker-style coat, was known to smoke roll-up cigarettes, and spoke in a Yorkshire accent.
South Yorkshire Police received a Christmas card in 2009, with a twisted message written inside.
The bizarre letter read: “To the Nora Tait murder inquiry team, keep up the good work.
“I might know a little something or nothing, I will be back in touch after Christmas.”
