A woman in her 60s was found dead at a home in Burnage, south Manchester, prompting a murder investigation by Greater Manchester Police. A 16-year-old boy, understood to be related to the victim, was arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody for questioning. Emergency services were called to the property after reports of an assault, and police maintained a presence throughout the day as inquiries continued.

A suspected arson attack destroyed the late Ricky Hatton’s car outside his son Campbell Hatton’s home in Hattersley, prompting a major police investigation. Campbell stated the vehicle held significant sentimental value and appealed for information after CCTV captured two individuals near the scene. Greater Manchester Police and fire crews responded around 11:45pm and confirmed the incident was targeted, with no arrests made. Emergency services later returned to deal with a separate gas leak, working with Cadent to secure the area.
