“Enquiries, led by the Major Crime Investigation Team, remain ongoing and I’d like to thank the St Paul’s community for their patience and support during these early stages of the investigation.

“We are still keen to speak with anyone who was in the area of Ashley Road between 8pm and 8.30pm on Tuesday, March 5 and has not yet come forward.”
