An initial forensic examination of the pensioner's semi-detached house found no signs of a break-in and nothing appeared to have been stolen. A murder weapon has been recovered but police declined to release details about it or say whether it was taken from Mr Davis's home. Neighbour Jaga Sehmbi, 56, said the community was devastated. He added: "Everyone knew him. I would see him walking down the road taking his small steps. I would stop and talk to him for half an hour. He had so much knowledge, especially about the local area. The community is devastated, it's shocking. You could never think anyone would harm such a lovely old bloke. A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "Detectives investigating the murder of 92-year-old William Davis arrested a 35-year-old woman last night (Tuesday) in connection with the inquiry. The local woman was arrested ... on suspicion of murder; she continues to help police with their enquiries. Mr Davis's family declined to comment. He was a father of two, grandfather to four and a great-grandfather to one.
