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.
