Inspector Simon Ryan said: “It is now one week since Ben Daly tragically lost his life in this appalling incident. I’m sure I speak for the entire community when I say that our thoughts remain with his friends and loved ones.

“This is not the sort of tragedy that anyone would expect to happen in Leamington, and we know that residents have been left shocked and worried.

“Though all intelligence indicates this was an isolated incident, people will still feel deeply concerned.

“Over the last week, officers and detectives have been out on the streets and knocking on doors- not only to gather evidence but also to speak with the community and reassure them.

“Residents will have noticed a particularly strong police presence in the area through today as we once again knock on doors to engage with residents and ensure that no stone has been left unturned with our enquiries.

“Officers – both in uniform and in plain clothes - we will remain out and about in the community to ensure you all feel safe.
