Police investigating the murder of a grandmother have appealed for information about a hammer that officers have found.
The hammer, which is about 30cm long and has a distinctive red and black handle, may have been used to kill Valerie Graves.
It was found by detectives in the same West Sussex village where she was murdered as police try to find out its origins.
The discovery came just hours after a 22-year-old man arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of killing Ms Graves was released on bail.
The 55-year-old artist was murdered as she house-sat with her mother, sister and her sister's partner while the owners were abroad on holiday over Christmas.
Ms Graves was found dead by one of her relatives in a ground-floor bedroom at a waterside property in Bosham, near Chichester, on December 30.
The hammer is embossed with the words Forge Steel, with a picture of an outline of an anvil.
Detective Superintendent Nick May, of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: "We need to know the origins of this hammer. Do you recognise it?
"We need people to check if they have lost such a hammer or had one stolen in the period leading up to the murder.
"We would also ask police officers, prison staff, probation officers and professionals who work in mental health, if they have dealt with anyone who has talked about causing someone harm with a hammer, to let us know."
