Searches follow Easter Sunday attack

Police are investigating a sexual assault in an Exeter park where a woman was attacked and killed earlier this year.

They've been searching an area around Ludwell Valley Park following the assault on a female on Easter Sunday afternoon.

Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said: “Officers remain in the area undertaking enquiries following the report of a sexual assault in the area, and a scene guard is in place within Ludwell Valley Park.

“We are appealing for witnesses and would like to hear from anyone who was in the area and saw anything strange between 2-4pm on Sunday 9 April.

“Specialist trained officers continue to support the female victim and police enquiries continue.”

The attack comes two months after 74-year-old local woman Lorna England was killed in the same area. Cameron Davis, of Exeter Road, Exmouth, is awaiting trial after being charged with her murdering.

Police are asking for anyone with information or CCTV footage about the latest attack that may help with enquiries to call them on 101 quoting reference 50230081217.
