Extensive cordons remain in place in north Manchester, with searches ongoing at killer Jihad Al-Shamie's address in Prestwich and elsewhere.

The M.E.N. understands this includes searches at an address in Farnworth, Bolton.

In an update last night, the head of counter-terrorism policing said that three more people have been arrested in connection with the attack.

Laurence Taylor said in a statement: "We have now arrested three further people, one man and two women, aged between 18 and mid-40s.

"This brings the number of people in custody arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism to six.

"We will be seeking warrants of further detention for all six individuals and will seek to issue an update on this later.
