DCI Jill Riley, from our Force Major Investigation Team, said: "First and foremost my thoughts are with Richard's loved ones at this difficult time. We have a dedicated team of investigators conducting enquiries to get justice for Richard."
"As part of these enquiries, we are asking anyone who saw or heard a disturbance or anything suspicious, in the area of New Market Street yesterday afternoon to make contact with us. I would also ask people to check their dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage to see if they have captured anything which could help our investigation."
"I know people will be understandably concerned by what has happened. I would like to reassure them that this is being treated as an isolated incident and there is no wider threat to the public."
