Man Held Over Bury Death
Police have located a man they wanted to trace following the death of a woman in Bury.
The man, aged 45, is currently with police officers in a hospital.
Police were called to Dumers Lane, Radcliffe, at 4.40pm on Tuesday, following reports a woman's body had been found.
Officers attended and discovered the body of a 41-year-old woman.
Formal identification and a post-mortem to establish the cause of death are yet to take place.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said there will be an increased police presence in the area over the next few days to reassure members of the community who maybe concerned about what has happened.
Detective Superintendent Julian Ross, of the Major Incident Team, said: "This investigation is at a very early stage and we have a lot of work yet to do.
"I have a team of highly trained detectives working to establish the circumstances surrounding this woman's death and until we know more about what has happened it would not be helpful to speculate on the cause of death or events leading up to it.
"I can confirm this death is being treated as suspicious."
