VIDEO: Fresh appeal for information on Holbeach stabbing
Police carried out further house to house inquiries in Holbeach at the weekend in a bid to find the culprit who stabbed a woman in the town's cemetery.
Jane Cutforth (59) suffered stab wounds to her neck and back, a punctured lung and bruises after the incident at around 5pm on April 17.
She was tending her father's grave when she was pushed to the ground, held down, stabbed repeatedly with scissors and kicked before her attacker stole just 40.
Police have issued numerous appeals for information and DI Greg Ing has recorded a video appeal to urge people in the town to come forward with information.
House to house inquiries were carried out during the evening at the weekend to try and catch people who may have been missed previously.
After the attack Miss Cutforth managed to get to Park Road where she was helped by passers-by.
She was taken to Boston's Pilgrim Hospital for treatment and released a week later.
Police spokesman James Newall said: "We still urgently need to speak to anyone who was in the cemetery that day.
"Any information could be vital to the investigation, please do not dismiss anything as unimportant, come forward and let us decide."
* The attacker is aged 30 to 40, 5ft 7ins, of average build, with dark hair, which was tied back. She wore a grey or beige thick, woolly-style jacket with a red or brown block pattern on it.
Anyone with information should call Spalding Police Station on 01775 722233.
