The pharmacy was taped off all day on Tuesday as investigations took place.

But Boots UK has said that the store is expected to reopen at some point on Wednesday.

Patients who need to collect prescriptions have also been redirected to pharmacies in Broadmead and Queens Road until the closure is lifted.

A Boots UK spokesperson said: “Our store team are doing all they can to help the police with their investigation into this very sad event.

“We’re helping patients to get their medicines from our other pharmacies on Broadmead and Queens Road.

“We currently expect the St Augustine’s Parade store to reopen at some point tomorrow.”
