A gang of six masked men broke into the Milton Keynes house in January, knocking 64-year-old Leung Hang-yin over before stealing an £8,000 (HK$76,000) Rolex watch and her police long-service medal.

They also robbed Hong Kong ID cards and cash, Thames Valley Police said.

Leung died 12 days later in Milton Keynes Hospital, Buckinghamshire. Police are treating her death as murder.

On Thursday Leung’s son Keith appealed to the public to come forward with information that could help catch his “bubbly” mother’s killers.

“I would ask them to look into themselves how they would feel if they lost a mother or a sister or indeed someone who is very special to them,” Leung said at local police headquarters.
