A statement released by Lancashire Police earlier this evening confirmed the man was released on conditional bail until August 25.

Earlier today, detectives were granted extra time to quiz him after holding him for 24 hours, the maximum allowed without an extension.

Police remained on guard outside the flat, which was taped off, earlier today.

Enquiries are ongoing, police added, and witnesses have been asked to call 101, quoting log number 881 of June 8.
