“I would encourage anyone who witnessed anything in the area last night to come forward and speak to the police to assist with our enquiries.
“We will be conducting high visibility patrols in the area throughout today to reassure the public and officers from the Homicide and Major Enquiry team are conducting enquiries today to establish the circumstances of the incident.”
