Detective Superintendent Tom Davies said: "One week has passed since Hayley's murder and we have spoken to a number of people since the incident took place.

"The benefits of speaking to people exactly one week on from the incident are that we may come across someone who regularly passes through the area or who was out at a similar time the week before.

"We managed to speak to a significant number of people and as a result of this gained some valuable information which we take back into the investigation team.

"The assistance of the community is extremely important in an investigation such as this and we are very grateful for all the information and support we have received so far.

"This is very much an ongoing active investigation with a number of detectives and resources committed to solving this crime.

"There is a strong possibility that there is someone who has information about this crime and not yet contacted.

"If you have any information about the incident or the events leading up to it please come forward.

"We are still keen to speak to anyone who saw two men in the area at the time of the incident.

"The men, who both had their hoods up, are said to have left the scene in a dark car that was parked in the street.

"It's not too late to contact police anonymously through Crimestoppers if you wish."

Two men, aged 29 and 36, who were arrested in connection with the incident have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

A 27-year-old man who was arrested at the scene has been released without charge.

Anyone with information can contact Leicestershire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, which is anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
