Children my be vital witnesses in Salford woodland murder inquiry

Police believe children playing in this location near where human body parts were found could have vital information for murder detectives. The ginnel is in Kersal Dale, Salford, where an horrific find was made on Thursday April 4th.

About 100 officers and GMP staff, supported by additional resources from neighbouring forces, have been working long hours to try and find out who this victim is and how he has come to be found at Kersal Dale. Yesterday after 12 days an extensive search in the area and the neighbouring Kersal Wetlands was stopped.

“We are confident with the extent of our search and that it’s the right time to stand the scene down. Over the last 12 days, over 100 officers, several search dogs, Crime Scene Investigators, and scientists have worked tirelessly in difficult conditions, searching the area by strategically combing through Kersal Dale Wetlands and its surrounding area.

“My team have checked the victim’s DNA against the UK police database and although this does not bring up a match, there is extensive work ongoing, including trawls of various other databases, missing person records and medical records; it’s a big piece of work which will take time.
