“Kayden will be sadly missed by his friends and all our staff. Our thoughts go to all his family and friends.”

Enquiries into the incident are currently ongoing.

Detective chief inspector Christopher Thomson, of the Major Investigation Team, said: “Our thoughts are with Kayden’s family and friends, along with everyone affected by this tragedy.
