Bin collections in Salford are to resume this weekend following a major police search for body parts after a torso was found wrapped in plastic in woodland. Greater Manchester Police have remained at the scene since the grim discovery was made last Thursday (April 4), with forensics, TAU officers and divers called out to help solve the mystery of the human remains.
A murder probe was triggered when a person out walking found the torso of a man wrapped in sheets of cellophane off Radford Street in the Kersal Dale area.
