Shortly after 7:35pm on Thursday 13 August 2015, police were called with information that the body of a woman was in the boot of a blue Nissan NX100 in Heywood.

The following day at around 3:50pm, a car fitting a similar description of the vehicle was seen on Claybank Street and was pursued by police before being abandoned on nearby River Street.

A 48-year-old and a 70-year-old man were detained and, after the body of a woman was found in the boot of the car, they were arrested on suspicion of murder. 

The 70-year-old man was later released without charge and no further action will be taken against him.

Anybody with information should contact police on 0161 856 9908 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
