Police were alerted to an “incident” at the property at around 4.05pm on Wednesday, where they discovered the 25-year-old.

Despite the best efforts of paramedics to save his life, he was tragically declared dead at the scene.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cullimore, leading the investigation, said: “Firstly, I’d like to express my sincere condolences to the family of the victim.

“They continue to be supported by specialist officers as our enquiries continue.

“While the exact circumstances remain under investigation, I’d like to reassure the community that we are treating this as an isolated incident and the suspect is believed to have been known to the victim.”

DCI Cullimore added: “I would urge anyone who sees Taylor Mitten not to approach him, but to please dial 999 immediately, quoting Operation Duxford.

“We are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident at this time.

“Our officers will remain in the area for high visibility reassurance, and anyone with any information can either approach them, dial 101 or report it online.

“I would also like to directly appeal to Taylor to make himself known to police.”
