Family of Holocaust survivor who was murdered 27 years after being liberated from Nazi concentration camp make fresh appeal to catch her killer nearly half a century after her death

The family of a holocaust survivor who was murdered 27 years after being liberated from a Nazi concentration camp have made a fresh appeal to bring her killer to justice - nearly half a century after her death.

Emmy Werner was found dead aged 68 by a chambermaid at Queens Hotel in Bayswater, west London, the day after a trip to the theatre in September 1972.

She had been strangled and suffered numerous injuries at the hands of an attacker, who police believe had been intending to steal from her as she slept.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on this case, including the exact date of Emmy's death.

Officers hope to trace people who used to work in or visited the hotel around the time, who were mostly of different nationalities, including German holidaymakers and Swedish staff.

Det Insp Susan Stansfield said: "Although many years have now passed since Emmy's death it remains particularly difficult for her family that she survived the horrors of the Holocaust yet died in such brutal circumstances.

"The hotel served a mixture of guests and employed a number of staff who were spoken to by police at the time.

"However, with the passage of time, it is possible that the events of that night have since been discussed and there is information that could be really useful to our inquiry.

"Did you stay or work at the hotel or in the area of Inverness Terrace, west London, in the early 1970s? Has anyone told you anything in confidence that you feel you should now disclose to police?

"We would also be interested in speaking to the friends - one from the hotel and an Italian woman - who Emmy went to the theatre with that night in case they have any useful information."
