Why it matters: This development could provide valuable insights into the circumstances surrounding Anita's death as investigators work to piece together the events of July 24th.
Key details:

Detectives are still seeking to identify the second individual from the CCTV appeal.
Police presence in Brantham has increased as officers conduct further house-to-house enquiries.
What they're saying: Detective Superintendent Mike Brown stated, "We have not yet identified the second individual from our CCTV appeal and remain keen to speak to them as they may hold key information that could assist with our enquiries. I want to make it clear that this person is not a suspect."
The investigation so far:
