Ms Tolley, 30, was killed in the Ward St house just after midnight last Saturday.

Police have been looking for four men aged in their 20s who were seen heading to the house just before midnight.

They said they believed Ms Tolley knew the men and were appealing to them to come forward and explain what they were doing that night.

Detective Senior Sergeant Glenn Barnett said they were looking for any footage that might help.

"We're aware that there may be CCTV or other footage that we have not yet gained access to - either from properties in the area, or from vehicles - and we would ask that people who may have relevant footage get in touch with us."

He asked anyone with other information to come forward.

"Someone out there will know who is responsible."
