“We understand that the local community will be concerned about this incident and I would like to reassure them that our enquiries are progressing and we will do everything we can to find out the circumstances surrounding Alem’s death.

“There are additional police patrols in the area, and an incident caravan at Charles Street. We would ask anyone with concerns to speak to these officers.”
