A man has been released on bail after a 26-year-old was killed 'in the most brutal way' at a stone circle. 

The 41-year-old was arrested yesterday evening following the discovery of Isaac Clare-Watts at the Nine Ladies Stone Circle in Stanton Lees. 

There had been a summer solstice event there over the weekend to mark the longest day of the year on June 21.

It comes as his mother Christy Clare posted on social media: 'It breaks our hearts to let you all know that Isaac, son and brother, was found dead on Monday morning.'

Posting a favourite picture of her son, she is urging followers: 'Please share like mad, and thank you to those that have shared, please update with photo.

'We need to know who did this to Isaac.'

In the latest update Detective Inspector Tony Owen, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU), who is leading the investigation said: 'My priority, and that of the team, remains on finding out exactly what has happened to Isaac, and ensuring those responsible are brought to justice.

'As part of the investigation we have issued appeals to the public this week asking all of those who were there to come forward and the response we have received so far has been very helpful.

'I'd like to thank all of those people who have been in touch with us so far – we have had hundreds of messages, photos, videos and some really key pieces of information from the public for which we are very grateful.

'We'd still like to hear from anyone who hasn't yet come forward and who was at the site over the weekend, as well as anyone who captured video footage from there as well as dashcam footage of vehicles arriving or leaving. If you haven't yet spoken to us please do get in touch.

'While we have arrested one man in connection with this incident, the investigation is still very much ongoing and we are keeping an open mind so information from the public remains key.'
