“First and foremost, this is an absolutely devastating outcome and our thoughts are with Gordon’s family at this awful time. Clearly, the last week has been incredibly difficult for Gordon’s family and I would continue to ask that their privacy is respected as they attempt to come to terms with what has happened.
“We are determined to find out the full circumstances that led to Gordon’s death. As a Force, we are committed to using every single tactic at our disposal in order to identify the perpetrators and ensure effective justice is served.
“We have made a total of 14 arrests so far as part of our extensive enquiries, and officers remain in the area as part of the investigation and to offer reassurance to those living nearby. At this early stage, we believe all parties involved were known to each other and there is no information to suggest there is a risk to the wider public.”
