Investigating officer Detective Constable Andy Cooper of Isle of Wight CID said: “A number of people were waiting at the bus stop at this time and we are keen to speak with anyone who was there. The behaviour of the man towards the woman may have attracted the attention of those waiting for the bus, particularly a lady who watched the couple leave the area. This witness was described as aged in her 60s and wearing a red coat and had an umbrella.”
