As darkness falls in North Ferriby, about 12 police officers continue to search land close to the A63. It's an area criss-crossed by busy roads, where there are pockets of woodland. | |
The search is being carried out in a field between the railway line and the dual carriageway but it is also extending into the surrounding woodland. | |
Officers duck in and out of a nearby hotel - the Hull Humber View Hotel appearing to be a temporary base for those involved in the investigation, which has been active since reports emerged of the stabbing nearly 12 hours ago. | |
