Chief Inspector Vicks Hayward-Melen said: ‘The amount of time we can legally keep a person in custody does not start until they are brought into a police station, so will not include any periods of time spent in hospital.

‘Our investigation, led by the Major Crime Investigation Team, is progressing at pace and we’re carrying out comprehensive inquiries to establish the events which led to this devastating loss of life.
