A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police confirmed this morning (Tuesday) that the man was released last night pending further investigation.

A formal identification has not been released for the woman, who is thought to be from the Pudsey area of Leeds.

Flowers left at the scene on Monday contained a message that read: "To Courtney - You was such a sweet caring young lady and it was such a pleasure to have met you and dance away the night with you".

Enquiries into the death remain ongoing.
