Police appeal after body found in Salford

Police are appealing for information regarding a suspicious death of a man in Salford.

Officers were called to a property in Great Cheetham Street at around 2.35am on Thursday, where they found a body of a man after searching the surrounding area of the property.

The body was located on the land between Great Cheetham Street West, and Salford and Broughton Cricket & Football Club.

The body has not been formally identified yet.

Two men were arrested at the scene with a further man later arrested, all on suspicion of murder.

They have been released on bail pending further investigation.

“Distressing time”

Detective chief inspector Rachel Smith from GMP’s Major Incident Team said: “Firstly, I would like to reassure the public that we are working hard to ascertain the full details that led to a man being found deceased.

“This is undoubtedly a very distressing time for the residents in the Salford area.

“Everything is being done to make a formal identification of the man, so we can inform their family and they can be laid to rest.

“If you know anything that might assist us with our investigation, please do get in touch.”

Police are appealing to anyone with any information, relevant footage such as mobile, doorbell, CCTV or dashcam to contact them on 0161 856 3635, quoting log number 218 of 07/12/2023.

They can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
