A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and a 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John said: "These arrests overnight are a significant development and we are keeping Yahye's family informed.

"I would still encourage anyone who has information, or who witnessed the events of that morning to contact police."
