A man, aged 19, has since been arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody for questioning.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Naismith, from GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “We are still very early in our investigation, and work is still ongoing as we establish the full circumstances following yesterday’s incident.
“However, we have secured an arrest, and multiple officers remain at the scene as part of our ongoing enquiries. You can expect to see an increased police presence over the coming days, and I would urge anyone with any concerns to speak to an officer.
“Understandably, anything like this will cause worry within our local communities, but I want to reassure people that we are committing considerable resources to this investigation, and will continue to work to ensure that whoever is responsible is brought to justice.”
