A 26 year old man's in police custody as detectives continue their investigation into the shooting dead of Kevin Potuka at Page Hall in Sheffield earlier this month.

He was detained at Manor on Friday.

A woman aged 20 who was also arrested then on suspicion of assisting an offender has subsequently been bailed, as has a 24 year old man held on suspicion of murder on Thursday.

Mr Potuka died in hospital after a shooting at Page Hall on the 12th of December, he was just 19 and a dad of two.

In total there have now been seven people arrested over his killing, with the other four previously detained all also having been bailed.

DCI Joanne Kemp from South Yorkshire Police says, "There is absolutely no place for gun crime here in South Yorkshire and we are determined to find those responsible for Kevin's horrific and tragic death.

"We will not stop until we secure justice for Kevin's family, including his two young children who will now have to grow up without a father."
