Detective Superintendent Cheryl Rhodes said: “The investigation is in the very early stages and we are looking at a number of lines of enquiry. I would ask anyone with any information which could assist our enquiries to contact us as a matter of urgency.
“I realise that some people will feel alarmed to hear about this but I want to offer my reassurance that we continue to work with our partners to offer protection and support to women and girls who are faced with violence and we have specialist officers who can support anyone who has the courage to come forward and speak to us.
