This has been a deeply upsetting incident which has caused a great deal of shock to the local community. Jeff Blair was killed after being assaulted in County Durham. Our thoughts are with Jeff's family and all those who knew and loved him at this difficult time. We will continue to have a police presence at the scene, and I'd like to thank the public and nearby residents for their patience, understanding, and co-operation while we work to establish exactly what has happened.
