Salford murder inquiry after human torso found in woodland
Police believe the remains wrapped in plastic may have been there for "a matter of days".

The discovery of a human torso in a secluded woodland has sparked a murder investigation.
Police said the alarm was raised when a passer-by spotted the "unknown item" in Kersal Wetlands, Salford, on Thursday.
Detectives and a pathologist confirmed human remains were found wrapped in plastic.
A post-mortem examination is to be carried in the hope of identifying the victim.
But officers are not expecting the examination to reveal a cause of death because the full body has not been found.
