Police continue to question two men arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder

Police are continuing to question two men arrested on suspicion of murdering a 22-year-old woman in a hit-and-run.

Rebecca Steer was struck by a car which mounted a kerb in Oswestry, Shropshire, during the early hours of Sunday.

Two more men, aged 31 and 46, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, have been released on bail.

The murder suspects, a 28-year-old arrested on Sunday and a 27-year-old detained on Monday, both from Oswestry, remain in custody.

They are also suspected of attempted murder. A second pedestrian hit by the vehicle has been released from hospital.
