Police have arrested seven men in connection with the fatal shooting of a mother-of-two.
The men – aged 21, 23, 24, 26, two aged 28 and a 38-year-old – were today being questioned about the death of Hayley Pointon earlier this year.
Hayley, 30, died following an incident in Sunnydale Road, Hinckley, at 10.45pm on February 3.
A postmortem examination found she died from a single gunshot wound.
Police today announced the seven arrests and confirmed the men were in custody where they were being quizzed by detectives.
Last week, Hayley's mother, Kerry, issued an appeal for witnesses to come forward.
She said: "We appeal for any information to help catch and convict the people or person who took Hayley away from her two young children, family and friends.
"This crime cannot go unpunished as we are all suffering each day it continues while we wait for justice.
"We will not rest until those responsible are caught and punished. Please come forward – this won't end until justice is done."
