Police have arrested a man, 24, on suspicion of murder, who remains in custody.

“I am also appealing to everybody who was on the beach between 2pm and 4pm who took any photos and videos to send them to us as soon as possible.
“We are interested in all photos or videos taken on any part of the beach during the afternoon.
“Any image could be relevant to our investigation, and my team of investigators will review them to ascertain whether they are of any evidential value to our enquiries.
“Your help on this matter could be crucial in piecing together the sequence of events leading up to the death of the man.
“I would reassure the community that we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this incident and there will be an increased police presence in the coming days for reassurance purposes.
“My thoughts remain with the man’s family at this difficult time.”
