The family said: “As the first anniversary of the loss of mum approaches, the pain we feel as a family is unbearable. <\/p>\n
“Not a day goes by that we aren’t desperate to find out what happened to her.<\/p>\n
“The way in which she died was senseless and devastating and as a family we struggle to understand why anyone would want to hurt her.”<\/p>\n
They continued: “She was an honest, hardworking woman whose caring nature was felt by every person she met. <\/p>\n
“Mum should have been looking forward to many more years of life enjoying her family and watching her grandchildren grow up.”<\/p>\n
So far, two men have been arrested on suspicion of Rose’s murder. <\/p>\n
Both have been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.<\/p>\n
Det Ch Insp Catherine Walsh said: “We know that after leaving the pub she arrived home via taxi and that was the last time she was seen alive.”<\/p>\n
Urging anyone with information to come forward, Walsh said: “It’s incomprehensible that 12 months on, Rose’s killer is still walking the streets. <\/p>\n
“Rose’s family and friends have been left devastated by their loss, but we remain committed to getting the answers they deserve.”<\/p>\n
