POLICE have revealed they found a hammer dumped in the ocean off Thompson's Point on Macleay Island - the same location where items belonging to murder victim Liselotte Watson were discovered.

Detectives would not comment on whether they believe the hammer was used to kill the 85-year-old grandmother but they are seeking assistance from the public to find its owner.

Mrs Watson was found dead inside her home on November 13.

A shaving bag with bank documents was found washed up at Thompson's Point the weekend before her body was discovered.

Police divers were later sent out to conduct a search of the area, where they discovered more items.

It is believed the hammer was one of those items.

Acting Detective Superintendent Geoff Sheldon said in November that other items could have been thrown into the water after Mrs Watson's death.

"It would appear whoever is responsible for this may have visited a number of times and deposited these items from the murder scene on a couple of occasions," he said.

Local junk mail deliverer Steven Fennell raised the alarm with police after Mrs Watson failed to answer the door.

His house remained a crime scene for a week following the discovery of her body.

Police say they have no suspects.

"Police are seeking assistance from anyone who may either own the hammer or have information regarding how it came to be located in this area," a police spokesperson said today.
