However, a 28-year-old man and a 17-year-old arrested on suspicion of murdering 87-year-old Arthur Gumbley are still under investigation.

Valuable jewellery was taken in the robbery, including a purse which belonged to his late wife, gold watch and bracelet. Cash was also taken.

The four men discounted from the investigation are aged 42, 34, 33 and 29.
