According to a reporter working for the Yorkshire news outlet, the alleyway runs between two houses, from a cul-de-sac to another street.
‘One woman on the Hardy Street side said all the neighbours talk a lot to each other and nobody heard, saw or knows anything about what’s happened,’ the reporter said.
Police were said to be guarding the entrance of the alleyway, with pictures showing police tape blocking it at each end.
