Two men – aged 20 and 21 arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remain in custody for questioning after a man was stabbed to death in the early hours of Thursday morning have been released
The 39-year-old man was taken to hospital in a critical condition with stab wounds to his arm and chest after being found on Whitstable Road, Moston and died in hospital several hours later.
Investigators from GMP’s Major Incident Team (MIT) believe it is an isolated incident and are appealing to the public for any information as part of their enquiries.
Detective Inspector Gareth Davies, of GMP’s MIT, said: “This is a devastating incident and our thoughts immediately lie with the man’s family and ensuring that they get all the answers possible as to what has tragically happened here.
“Our investigation is in its infancy and there are several lines of enquiry we are pursuing to begin to ascertain the circumstances of this incident but it is vital we hear from any members of the public with information – a man has lost his life and if you know something I implore you to get in touch.
“What we do know is that the victim had left an address on Whitstable Road and was found a short time later to have been stabbed a number of times – injuries which have proved to be fatal.
“we are keen to speak to anyone who lives around the area and who may have even the slightest bit of information that may support us with our investigation.”
