“They are currently being supported by specially trained officers through what must be an incredibly distressing time.

“We can confirm that this is now a murder investigation and that a suspect has been located and arrested on suspicion of this offence.

“I’d once again ask that anyone who saw what happened, or has any relevant information, CCTV, doorbell, dashcam or phone footage, shares it with us, if they haven’t done so yet.

“Every piece of information we receive, however small or insignificant it may initially seem, has the potential to be the evidence we need to solve a case.”
