A man and a woman have been arrested after a man was fatally stabbed in Oldham yesterday.

The 25 year old man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene of a disturbance involving a group of men at an address on Fifth Avenue, Oldham.

A bladed weapon was recovered close by and initial enquiries suggest the man was stabbed.

A 38 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and a 35 year old woman has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Butterworth, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “A shocking incident has occurred this evening and a man has lost his life in a confrontation which resulted in the victim suffering fatal stab wounds.

“Our initial priority is supporting the man’s family at this time, and to work at great pace to find those responsible for this tragic act, and bring them to justice.
