**What they're saying:** Detective Superintendent Nicola Wallace said: "We understand that this incident may cause concern locally. However, officers are treating this as an isolated incident and both the deceased and suspect were known to each other."

Wallace added: "In cases where we have a death that is unexplained and gives us sufficient cause for concern, it is vitally important that we follow all due procedure and fully investigate the circumstances."

**Why it matters:** While the incident may raise concerns among residents, police are emphasising it appears to be isolated, with the deceased and suspect known to each other.

**What's next:** Police are appealing for anyone with information that could assist the investigation to contact South CID at Landmark House, quoting reference 37/48482/24.
