Two men were today being quizzed by detectives in connection with a burglary in Haworth after which the vulnerable home owner, an 85-year old war veteran, died.

George Bridge died in hospital shortly after he was manhandled into a side-room during the 2am break-in.

The two men, a 33-year-old and a 31-year-old were arrested early today in Keighley and were being held for questioning.

Detectives released video footage of the burglary on May 2 at the house in Mytholmes Lane which had been taken by a surveillance camera police had installed after a previous break-in in January.
