Detectives investigating the murder of a mother-of-five in the New Forest are searching a river near where she was found stabbed to death.
Pennie Davis, 47, was tending her two horses in a paddock off Hatchet Lane, near Beaulieu, when she was killed.
She suffered multiple stab wounds and her husband Pete found her body on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers hunting her killer believe the murder weapon was a bladed item, possibly a knife, and was probably discarded close to the scene.
They are searching a shallow river running along the field as part of a wider search for the weapon.
Mrs Davis, from Blackfield, worked in a supermarket and was recently married.
Her husband, their children and her parents visited the paddock on Friday morning and left flowers with messages from each member of the family.
Mr Davis’ message said: “Angel, all my love, always and forever Pete.”
One of her daughters left a note saying: “Dearest mum, you were a goddess. I swear I’ll make you proud.
“I like to think you’re sitting there, watching on a cloud. You had so much more to give. You had so much more to do. But now I’ll be your legacy. I’ll do it all for you.”
Detective Superintendent Paul Barton said his team have received 150 calls from the public since Thursday.
He said: “It’s vital we continue to hear from people who were in the area of Leygreen Farm between 2pm and 5pm on Tuesday.
“Did you see Pennie or her dark green coloured Toyota Land Cruiser which she drove from work in Blackfield to the field? Did you see or hear anyone acting suspiciously, possibly running away from the scene?”
