AN EALING man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a young Oxfordshire woman was inflicted with fatal head injuries.

Kerry Reeves, 26, of Abingdon, died in hospital yesterday. Thames Valley Police believe she was shot at close range on Tuesday night.

They arrested a 20-year-old man from Northolt the following day, who has since been released on bail until December 4.

Emergency services were called to a report of a shooting in the Northcourt Road area of Abingdon at about 8.20pm.

Detective Chief Inspector Mike Lynch said police were still looking for a further suspect.

He said: “Our thoughts are with Kerry’s family at this very difficult time.

“Our investigation appears to indicate that this was not a random attack and the offenders knew Kerry.

“We are still actively searching for a further suspect. We would urge anyone with any information about this incident and who has not already contacted the police to call us on 101.”

Kerry’s mother, Nicola said: "On Tuesday evening my beautiful funny daughter was brutally taken from me, aged just 26.

"Holding her in my arms for the last time is something a mother should never have to go through. Trying to take in how she looked, kissing her, never wanting to let her go.

"Myself and Kerry’s family are completely devastated not only by the loss of our beautiful young girl but the horrific way Kerry was taken from us."

Anyone with information about the incident should call the Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
