Statement from Councillor Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council

My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the family and friends of the young person who tragically lost his life in Seaford.

This is a profoundly shocking event that will understandably cause great concern and sorrow throughout our community. In times like these, we must come together to support one another.

If anyone has information that could assist the investigation, I urge you to contact Sussex Police without delay.
