Hester Mottershead

Hester Mottershead died from a brain haemorrhage following a distraction burglary at her home, Saxonfields in Tettenhall.

Four men posing as water board officials dressed in blue boiler suits entered her home and whilst one of them pretended to inspect her taps, the other three spent half an hour going through her drawers and cupboards after which they left with her valuables in what was thought to be two cars.
