One bystander, who wished to remain anonymous, saw the police scene watch in place later on in the evening, and remarked how long the taped off section was.
They said: “I have never seen such a long police tape- it covers about 10 houses.
“There are officers present as well as an ambulance.
“Officers are constantly guarding the taped-off area, and the buses can’t stop at the bus stop because of the police and ambulance vehicles.
“Buses are stopping further down on St Clement’s.”
