Detective Chief Inspector Steve McGrath said: “I would like to take this opportunity to remind people that this is a live investigation, and to be mindful that anything posted or shared on social media could jeopardise proceedings, so please support us as we move forward with the case. The best way to help is to pass information on through official channels.

“To that end, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may hold information and not yet made themselves known to police. Do not presume that what you know is already known to us, contact us directly or anonymously through Crimestoppers and we will make the assessment.
