Det Ch Insp Campbell said: “Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends following this tragic incident and the family ask that they are given privacy at this time.

“We are in the early stages of a fast-moving investigation, but it is currently believed this matter involved people known to each other.

“I understand this will be alarming to the community and there will be an increased police presence in the area for some time.”
