Police have reassured concerned locals it is not seeking anyone else in connection with the suspected murder.
Officers remained on the scene yesterday, carrying out searches and launching a murder investigation.

She said: “Complex enquiries remain ongoing at Ken Churchill Drive and will be for a number of days as we investigate what has taken place there.”
Addressing the lack of clarity on identifying the body, Atkinson said police will continue their efforts.
She added: “Work to formally ID the woman found at the address remains ongoing, but we do think it is Carolann, and specially trained officers continue to support her family.
“We recognise this incident will cause concern locally and I can advise residents we are not seeking anyone else in connection with the matter.”
