One passer-by told The Star blood had been visible on the street after the incident.

The police cordon, which had sealed off the cul-de-sac over the weekend while police carried out investigations at the scene, has now been removed, although fragments of blue and white police tape could still be seen on the ground in places along the street, which was quiet yesterday morning.

But one marked police patrol car was seen to drive up Bowshaw Close, turning around in the car park turning circle, before heading off again, as police maintained patrols in the area.

And a police van was seen to drive past the end of the street, along Batemoor Road, towards Dyche Lane.
