Police have been scouring Kersal Wetlands after a man's body parts were discovered
A bad smell triggered a new search of a beauty spot which is at the centre of a murder inquiry. Nearly three weeks ago, human remains were found in Kersal Dale in Salford .
At the weekend a search was resumed. Today, the Manchester Evening News can reveal it was re-started after reports of a pungent odour in the vacinity - but it turned out to be sulphur. GMP has confimed that DNA testing has revealed the victim is not on the UK Police Database. No further body parts have been discovered and there was no clothing attached to the remains.
Last week, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Naismith, Senior Investigating Officer on the investigation, said: “Our focus from day one has remained on the victim’s family. They will be suffering the loss of a loved one, and we need to be able to give them answers to they can come to terms with their loss. Our work is far from over, this is just the beginning of a long and complex investigation.
