'Defenceless' nan shot dead at home 'would give you the last coin in her purse'
A "defenceless" nan who was shot in her home "would give you the last coin in her purse", her heartbroken family said.
Jaqueline Rutter, 53, was killed in the doorway of her home on Meadowbrook Road, Moreton, Wirral, Merseyside, at around 1.45am on October 30, 2022, in what police described as a "targeted attack". The victim's family previously said they thought the woman, also known as Jackie, was killed over a dispute involving other relatives which had nothing to do with her.
Back in October last year, Merseyside Police had arrested eight people in connection with the crime, but no one has ever been charged for her murder. A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said this week: "No one has been charged and there are no further updates. The investigation remains ongoing."

Detectives believe the car was driven on Meadowbrook Road and was also seen on Birkenhead Road, Hoylake Road and Garden Hey Road between 12.45am to 1.15am that Sunday.
The suspicious car was later found burnt out on Garden Hey Road, the Liverpool Echo reports. In a tribute last year, Jacqueline's daughter said: "This is a tribute in loving memory of my beloved mother of six children and grandmother to five beautiful grandchildren.

"Jackie (mum) was a very much-loved women, not just to her family, but to everyone she met. The tragic loss was a shock to everyone and there is a massive gap in our lives that will never be filled. Jackie is and always will be missed by all her loved ones. She will always be very special to everyone she knew. Rest in peace now my angel, always in our hearts and minds forever and always, your daughter."

"We cannot understand how someone could do this to you, a defenceless grandmother. Nothing can justify murder. Its pains us to think of how frightened you were in your final moments and nobody should have to experience that. Our hearts will forever remain heavy as nobody can recover from a death of a murdered loved one.
"We will continue until our last breath to fight for your justice, to ensure those individuals responsible are held accountable for this evil and merciless crime. There isn't a day that goes by that you are not in our thoughts. We love and miss you so much, rest easy now mum."
