Five teenage boys from Clacton — aged 19, 18, and three 15-year-olds — who were arrested yesterday on suspicion of murder remain in custody, along with a 20-year-old girl from the town, who has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, remain in custody.

Multiple roads were closed in the town centre yesterday while officers carried out their investigations, but they have since reopened.

Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Greg Wood, from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "We will be continuing our investigation in Clacton town centre today, and you are likely to see an increased police presence in the area.

"We still have crucial work to do and there will be situations when we need to restrict the flow of traffic on some of the main roads through the town centre.

"I'd like to once again thank the community of Clacton for their patience and understanding whilst we carry out a full and thorough investigation.

"I would continue to urge anyone within the community who witnessed or knows what happened, or has any CCTV, dash cam or doorbell footage, or any other information, to contact my team."
