Police in GMP’s Major incident Team make another arrest following the death of Badri Issa last week
A 21-year-old man has been arrested yesterday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and remains in custody for questioning.
Shortly before 8pm on Wednesday 25 October 2023, police were called to a report of a man with a serious stab wound on Moss Lane East in Moss Side.
22-year-old Badri Issa was found by emergency services with life-threatening injuries Moss Lane East in Moss Side on Wednesday evening and was taken to hospital where he sadly died later that evening.
Detectives are still investigating with the hypothesis that there was a disturbance between the victim and his friend with two other men on Moss Lane East. Two men fled the scene in a car and Badri’s friend stayed to call emergency services.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Naismith of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “We are still in the early stages of our enquiries, but this arrest is a huge step in our murder investigation and will help to progress our understanding into the moments leading up to Badri’s death.
“We are continuing to appeal for any information, especially any CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage you may have from Wednesday 25 October, please get in touch with us and know that any information will be dealt with the strictest of confidence.
“We understand that coming forward with information is nerve wracking, but we urge you to do the right thing so we can provide answers for Badri’s family.
