Apparently though it’s thought she was attacked around Wednesday lunchtime and was found Thursday morning when a concern for welfare check was made

In both arrests, the BBC has stated that the individual was "white". Would they have said "black" if the person was black ?

I think they might and would also suggest nationality.

This follows from the Southport atrocity where nothing was said about ethnicty but word got out that he was black. 2+2 ended up with stories that he was a black refugee (he wasn't: British born and British nationality) and hey presto, you get riots about immigrants on the streets of a grieving small seaside town.

I think that they had to say white because there was a good chance of it kicking off, like Exile has said, if they hadn’t and even if they had said nothing people would have read stuff into it that wasn’t there
