We believe this to be a domestic incident and therefore there is no risk to the wider public. However, I understand that serious offences such as these will have a dramatic impact on the community, therefore we will be carrying out reassurance patrols in the area, so if anyone has any concerns please speak to a police officer or police community support officer.

There will be a police presence at the scene during the next few days as we continue our investigation. We will also be carrying out house to house enquiries in the area.
