DETECTIVES investigating the murder of a serving member of the Armed Forces in Brecon confirm that they have arrested a further male aged 22 years in connection with the incident.
The first male aged 23-years remains in Police Custody.
A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “Enquires remain ongoing and Police in Brecon are appealing for anyone who was in the vicinity of Lion Street, Bethel Square, Tredegar Street and High Street between 12.30am and 01.30am or has any information that could assist with the inquiry to call police on 101 immediately quoting reference number DP-20160508-024.”
Speaking to the press on Monday (May 9), Inspector Jacqui Locatt said: “We would very much like to thank the Military Personnel and local community for all their continued support during this investigation and what is a truly tragic circumstance.
“There is nothing to suggest that Matthew Boyd being a soldier was a motivation for this assault, nor is there anything to indicate any links to terrorism.
“Our deepest thoughts go out to Matthew’s family, friends and regiment.
“The military are very much a part of the Brecon community and we will continue working together to maintain this.
