Grim Discovery Unveiled at Kersal Wetlands
Two men, aged 42 and 68 from Salford, who were arrested on suspicion of murder on Thursday remain in custody for further questioning. The force said they are believed to have lived with the victim at a property being searched by police. A torso – consisting of the bottom of the back, buttocks and thigh – was found in clear plastic by a passer-by at Kersal Dale Wetlands in Salford on April 4. The victim is believed to be a white man aged over 40, who had only been dead for a matter of days.

Our investigation so far has been a far-reaching and painstaking process, trawling through hundreds of hours of CCTV alongside recording several accounts from the public around the circumstances.”
