A police spokesperson said: “We strongly urge the media and public to refrain from speculation about the case to ensure fair justice can be delivered in line with the Contempt of Court Act 1981.

“Where we believe there have been breaches of contempt laws, we have the option of referring them to the Attorney General’s office to consider.

“We also urge the media to respect the rights and privacy of those connected to the case, including family members.”
