Officers remain at the scene today while forensic work is carried out, and they speak to witnesses and examine CCTV. Det Insp Michelle Thurgood said: “We are making good progress as we work hard to establish exactly what happened and why.

“We still really need to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time. We believe there were people in the area at the time who saw what happened but have not yet been in touch with us, and it’s vital that they call us as soon as possible.”
