A 15-year-old boy who was arrested on suspicion of murder and a 16-year-old boy who was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon have both been released on bail.

Detective Inspector Paul Davies of GMP Major Incident Team said: “We have made significant progress and have arrested a number of individuals and charged one man in connection with this incident, these are huge steps in our murder inquiry as we piece together the events leading up to the attack on Salah and provide his family the answers they so badly need.

“If you were in the area or have any information relating to this case - including if you have footage such as CCTV or dashcam - I urge you to do the right thing and share it with us so we can find those responsible and get justice for Salah.”
