In a news conference early yesterday, police revealed they had extended their search area to include four different spots after “uncovering more intelligence” relating to the investigation.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) launched the case after a civilian found a torso wrapped in clear plastic at Kersal Wetlands in Salford on 4 April. The victim was believed to be a white male older the age of 40, who had been dead for a matter of days.
Two men, aged 42 and 68, were arrested on suspicion of murder earlier this week, while a 20-year-old man previously arrested was released on bail pending inquiries. Officers have also searched a property in Worsley Road, Winton, where they believe the victim and the two suspects lived.
In their latest update, the GMP said they believe the torso belonged to a man in his 60s and they have informed his family about his death.
