''The full horror of what was found at a Salford beauty spot tiggering a murder investigation can now be revealed. The human remains discovered at Kersal Dale were a lower back, buttocks, and thigh, all wrapped in multiple sheets of cellophane.''

'The victim is a male and thought to be "over 40". It is not yet clear whether he was killed in Salford or elsewhere and his remains left in the city. CCTV has been checked as one theory is that the killer or an accomplice with the remains may have arrived by car. The main Bury New Road, a major route in and out of Manchester city centre, is nearby.'
 
Two men were arrested today by detectives investigating the gruesome woodland murder in Salford. One suspect was taken off a bus near Salford Royal Hospital and a second was also held in the city.

Both are being held under suspicion of murder. An investigation began on April 4th after human remains were found in the Kersal Dale area. A passer by found in plain sight, near a footpath, the lower back, buttocks, and a thigh of a man wrapped in cellophane.

Salford torso inquiry: More remains found in murder investigation

Police have identified the victim as a man is his 60s from Salford after remains were found in a nature reserve.
www.bbc.co.uk

More body parts found, two men arrested were known to the victim and lived in the same property but were not related to him. Victim likely died at the property in late March. More remains were found in Blackleach Reservoir and also in Linnyshaw Colliery Woods, found by a dog walker.

I hope they manage to find all of him for the sake of his family.

I wonder what the relationship between the three was ?
It’s not a rented property as it was purchased a couple of years ago.
Interesting.

HMO maybe? Though 12 years sounds like an awful long time for 3 people to be living in the same HMO.
