According to reports, Lewis-Ranwell was 'not talking' to police. A source said police had been granted extra 36 hours to question him.
One of Lewis-Ranwell's neigbours and family friends said that he was a keen polo player who attended the £30,000-a-year West Buckland boarding school. 
The source said:

He was one of the nicest children you could ever meet. He is so polite and kind and was good at school.
He was brilliant at polo. He wanted to play so his dad bought him horses.
