A planned balloon release in memory of Bailey that was due to take place tonight was cancelled by the family in an appeal for privacy at this time.

West Midlands Police said the murder investigation into Bailey’s death continues and officers are working ‘around the clock’ to arrest those behind the killing.

A police spokesperson said: ‘The scene in Walsall town centre remains and we are searching an area of Willenhall where two vehicles were found with fire damage.

‘Our investigation is making progress and we’re following up a number of positive lines of enquiry.

‘Anyone with CCTV, mobile phone footage or dashcam footage has been asked not to share it on social media, but to get in touch with us.’

Chief Superintendent Phil Dolby, of Walsall Police, earlier made this plea: ‘This was senseless violence that has cost a man his life, and our top priority is catching those responsible.

‘But we’re also very aware that people are worried by what’s happened and also feeling angry.

‘I’d urge people to work with us as we investigate, and get in touch with any information.

‘We’re committed to working with partners across the borough to ensure Walsall is a safe place, and I’ve been speaking to people in the community to reassure then of the steps we are taking to ensure that.’
