A huge police cordon is in place around the spot where the murder victim was found, with a number of nearby streets taped off and being guarded by officers.

DCI Oughton said: “I know this incident will concern the community who live in the Manor area and I’d like to reassure the public that we are doing all we can to find those responsible."

He added: “My appeal today is for anyone who has information about what happened this morning to please come forward and talk to us. Were you in the Freston Green area either before 12.30am or just after? Did you hear or see anything that was unusual?”

“Did you capture any people or vehicles on your CCTV cameras or dash cams? Even something that seems insignificant or routine could be vital to our investigation.
