A 48-year-old man who was also detained on suspicion of murder has been released pending further investigation.

Rob Griffin, Assistant Chief Constable, stated: “I’d like to thank the public once more for their assistance with this investigation and all of the information they’ve provided so far.

“I am fully aware of how upsetting this incident has been for Clair’s family and the wider Colston Bassett community, which is why we have invested so much time and effort not only in the investigation but also in providing a uniform presence in the area to reassure people.

“This arrest follows public appeals for information that we have made over the last few days.

“However, I would ask that people keep providing information as this investigation continues.
