The cufflinks are of sentimental value to the family of the pensioner

Det Sgt Daniel Chant said: "Following conversations with the family it is believed that these cufflinks were an engagement present from Dennis' late wife so hold extreme sentimental value.

"It is possible that they have been sold on since, and finding out what has happened to them could assist our investigation into his murder."
