A candlelit vigil will be held in Falmouth this evening in memory of the man who lost his life in the town yesterday.

Speaking to the Packet, Martin Van-Evelingen, who has set up an event page on Facebook, said it would be to remember Aaron Pill.

He said: "We ask everyone to join us in showing your respect and solidarity to Aaron’s family, by lighting your candle and standing in silence for one minute."

The event will be held at 8pm, when people are asked to light a candle in their own homes.

Police confirmed yesterday that they had launched a murder investigation following the death of a man at a house in Tresawle Road, in the Old Hill area of Falmouth.

Officers were called just after midnight yesterday, following the death of a man in his 20s.

They have since launched an appeal for information, describing the death as "suspicious."
