"As our investigation progresses, we would like to hear from anyone we have not yet spoken to who has information that may assist our enquiries, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.

"We appreciate that the incident took place in the early hours of the morning, but perhaps you live nearby and saw or heard something that could be related?

"Or maybe you live in the area and have CCTV or Ring Doorbell footage and have not yet spoken to officers?"

DCI Douglas, who is overseeing the investigation, said: "Our thoughts remain with the man's family today as we continue working hard to understand the exact circumstances of what has taken place.

"You will continue to see officers in and around the area today and into tomorrow, as we conduct our enquiries.

"If you have any concerns or anything which may assist our investigation, then please do not hesitate to speak with them.

"You can also call 101, quoting the reference 44230211028, if you have information which could assist us, or submit a report on our website.

"Crimestoppers also offers a 100 per cent anonymous service, if you would rather provide information that way.
