A post-mortem took place in Brighton on Friday.

A 27-year-old man from Portslade arrested on suspicion of murder was released on bail on Saturday until next month pending further enquiries.

Detective Superintendent Jason Taylor said: "This remains an ongoing investigation and has understandably come as a shock to the local community.

"We would ask anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area, no matter how insignificant you may think it was, to get in touch.”
