A 93-year-old woman who had her house burgled by three men posing as police officers has died in hospital from "broken heart syndrome".

Betty Munroe was pronounced dead on Wednesday, Northamptonshire Police said.

Three men forced their way into her home on June 11 and stole all of her jewellery, including her late husband's watch, her purse, bank cards, and a gold chain from around her neck.

They confronted Ms Munroe at her home on Kettering Road North, Northampton, breaking into her home with garden shears and telling her they were police officers, before ransacking the house in front of her.

Police said her health deteriorated very quickly after the incident and she was diagnosed with PTSD following repeated nightmares, trouble sleeping, being sick and being unable to stop shaking.
