A 42-year-old man from the Kingsbridge area was located by police in Fore Street in the town at 9.40am and arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody at Torquay police station.

Detective Inspector Ian Ringrose said: “We believe there were a lot of people in the area at the time of this incident. I would ask anyone who witnessed the incident, or the events before and after, to contact the police.

“The police are working closely with the victim’s family to provide support at this difficult time.”

A cordon remains in place around the scene while a forensic examination is carried out and house-to-house enquiries are being conducted in Kingsbridge.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information to assist with the investigation is asked to telephone police on 101, quoting long number 194 of 06/07/14.
