Windmill Hill Lane and Bass Street have now all fully re-opened, and we would like to thank the public for their patience while this part of the investigation has been taking place.

Detective Inspector Maria Pleace who is the Senior Investigating Officer said: “We continue to have a dedicated team of officers working to understand the circumstances of Corey’s death, and I would like to thank all those who have helped with our enquiries so far.

“However, I would urge anyone who has any information who hasn’t yet been in touch to contact us.”
