Detective inspector Andy Griffin stated, 'I believe this woman's account of events, as well as the video she captured, will provide vital evidence.' He emphasized the urgency of speaking to her.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams expressed condolences, stating, 'My thoughts remain with the victim's family and loved ones, as well as those in the community who have been affected by this incident.'
Officers will be expected to arrive at crime scenes within 15 minutes in urban areas and 20 minutes in the countryside while attending serious crimes, the Home Office said.

Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, is preparing to announce a full package of changes that the Home Office claims to be the biggest overhaul in two centuries.
