He remains in custody at this time and enquiries are continuing.

Detective Inspector Mark Parish, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) major crime team, is the senior investigating officer. He said: “Our investigation to establish the circumstances of this incident is very much in its early stages.

“Officers remain in the area carrying out enquiries. While a number of people have been spoken to already, I would ask anyone who believes they can help but has not yet come forward to do so.

“I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who has a dashcam in their vehicle or who has a video doorbell at their address. Any footage you’re able to provide could be vital.”
