| Mr Bennett's widow earlier spoke of her devastation. | |
| Public thanked | |
| Gillian Bennett said in a statement: "We are devastated. It's impossible to describe the loss. | |
| "He was an unassuming man who always made time for everyone, no matter what. | |
| "It hasn't really hit home yet that he's gone. It's impossible to describe the loss we're experiencing and it will take a long, long time to be able to come to terms with this." | |
| Det Ch Insp Mark Cooper said: "We are still appealing for any witnesses who saw Alan in the hours before he died or who saw or heard anything suspicious in the Oldmill Road area. | |
| "People may still have information which could be vital to the enquiry." | |
| He added: "I'd like to sincerely thank members of the public for their assistance so far in this investigation." |
