"We share that concern and will do everything we possibly can to support our colleagues as they investigate.
"Local people can expect to see police in the area over the coming days. My officers are there to hear your concerns and also to listen to any information that you might have that can help us apprehend those responsible for this awful crime.
“I urge you to speak to them, or to contact Crimestoppers, as quickly as possible."
