Det Con Chris Hughes, who is leading the investigation, said, “The incident occurred between approximately 12.15am and 12.20am on Sunday morning. Despite the time of the incident, we know that there were a number of people present at McDonald’s at the time, and they may have seen what happened. I’d be really keen to speak to these people – if this was you, please come forward and provide us with any information you may have.
“Similarly, if anyone has any footage of the incident, then this would of course be a priority to obtain.”
