Homicide Squad Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Walpole said more arrests were expected to be made.

“Those people we believe are involved, I suggest they might want to come and see us before we come and see them,” Detective Walpole said.

“If they’d like to hand themselves in to police we’ll certainly accommodate them but they should certainly be having some sleepless nights at the moment.

“The investigation is ongoing and we’re dealing with a lot of information.”
