This week marks the somber eighth anniversary of the assault on 80-year-old Tommy Ward in his Maltby home. On Thursday, 1 October 2015, emergency services responded to a distress call from Tommy’s residence on Salisbury Road. He was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

In the aftermath of the assault, investigators discovered that a safety deposit box containing approximately £30,000 had been stolen from Tommy’s home. Despite the resilience shown by Tommy in the months that followed, he tragically succumbed to the injuries he sustained during the attack and passed away on Tuesday, 23 February 2016.
