Police have opened up four new scenes as they continue to investigate the discovery of human remains in Kersal Wetlands at the start of this month.

Four new areas are being searched following what offices say new intelligence that has been uncovered this weekend

The two men arrested on suspicion of murder earlier this week remain in custody

The four areas are Worsley Road, Winton, Blackleach Reservoir in Salford, Linneyshaw Colliery Wood also in Salford and Mitchell Street in Bury.

Detective Superintendent Lewis Hughes of our Serious Crime Division said; “As we close the net further on this investigation and uncover more intelligence, I want to reassure our communities we are doing everything in our power to ensure we obtain every available bit of available evidence.

“Our investigation so far has been a far-reaching and painstaking process, trawling through hundreds of hours of CCTV alongside recording several accounts from the public around the circumstances.

“The four scenes in place are to make sure we investigate thoroughly and continue with our good progress and remain committed on keeping you updated as and when we make further developments.

“We are still appealing to our local communities, if they have seen, heard or witnessed anything suspicious in the areas mentioned, please do the right thing and come forward as it is not too late and that tiny bit of detail you have could be crucial.
