Detective Chief Inspector James Axe, investigating, said: “Mr Qureshi’s family are being supported by specially trained officers and they have today released this picture of their son.

“They have asked that their privacy is respected and they are left alone at this incredibly difficult time as they try to come to terms with what has happened.

“Two men, aged 30 and 48-years-old, who were arrested yesterday (Thursday 25 July), both on suspicion of murder, remain in police custody.

“Our enquiries are today continuing and are developing at pace. Officers remain in the area, and a cordon is still in place on Station Road. We expect to release it later today.
