Officers asked for anyone who was at the scene between Friday and Tuesday to contact them.

Det Insp Tony Owen, who is leading the investigation, said: "My priority, and that of the team, remains on finding out exactly what has happened to Isaac, and ensuring those responsible are brought to justice.

"As part of the investigation we have issued appeals to the public this week asking all of those who were there to come forward and the response we have received so far has been very helpful.

"I'd like to thank all of those people who have been in touch with us so far - we have had hundreds of messages, photos, videos and some really key pieces of information from the public for which we are very grateful.

"We'd still like to hear from anyone who hasn't yet come forward and who was at the site over the weekend, as well as anyone who captured video footage from there as well as dashcam footage of vehicles arriving or leaving. If you haven't yet spoken to us please do get in touch."
