Widow of man who was stabbed to death in Poundland has home burgled

The wife of a man who was stabbed to death in a Poundland store has had her home burgled, police have said.

The break-in came after her husband, 61-year-old Justin Skrebowski, was stabbed to death at a store in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, last December.

Thames Valley Police referred itself to the IPCC over the knifing.

The burglars climbed on to a conservatory roof before forcing open a window as the widow picked up her children from school.

Police said the burglars escaped with heirlooms from her husband's side of the family which were intended for their children when they are older.

Police said there was nothing to suggest the burglary was linked to the murder.

An appeal has been made to people who work in local pawn shops, antique stores, jewellers and cash for gold shops to be on the look-out for the stolen items.
