Four arrests have been made so far but nobody has yet been charged.

An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and three boys - two aged 17 and one aged 16 - were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to rob.

They have all been bailed pending further enquiries.

Detectives investigating the murder are also trying to trace 29-year-old Ahmed Farrah, who is believed to hold vital information.

Farrah, who has links to Broomhall, is said to know he is wanted for questioning but is actively evading arrest.
