"While we’re following a number of lines of enquiry, at this time we believe this is an isolated incident.

"I understand that news of this incident will be shocking to the local community and as soon as we can we will release more information."

A 32-year-old man who lives on an adjoining road said: "When I was dog walking this morning I saw the cordon at about 8am.

"This is a very quiet neighbourhood and I’ve never seen anything like this before here.

"This is something like you see on the TV I suppose, so it seems all quite surreal."
