Police remain on scene three days after woman stabbed to death as forensics scour canal towpath
Forensics investigators are scouring a canal towpath close to the scene where a woman was stabbed to death as a murder probe enters its third day. The 51-year-old victim was found seriously injured on Edge Lane in Droylsden just after noon on Friday and died around 45 minutes later.
"There were putting the little yellow evidence markers down on the towpath and on the steps up to the bridge. That's where they seemed to be concentrating."Flowers have also been left close to where the stabbing took place. A message attached to one bunch read: "The brightest flowers for the brightest star in the sky. You was taken too soon from this world. You will be loved forever and always.
"I understand the nature of the incident will cause concern in our communities, not just in Tameside, but across Greater Manchester. As a result, there will be a visible increase of police officers in the area over the coming days and anyone with concerns is encouraged to speak to them.
