“Enquiries are continuing in the area, and as part of our investigation you may see a police presence during the afternoon of today (Sunday 30 March), this is completely routine.
“As we have now approached a week since the murder investigation was launched, I’d like to take this time to appeal to anyone who has information about what happened, to contact police.
“Even if you have contacted us already, if you have anything further to offer, it may crucially support our investigation.”
