A 20-year-old man from Salford remains in intensive care in Athens after a quad bike crash in Zante left him with serious injuries and reliant on a ventilator. Attempts to reduce sedation have been unsuccessful and he has developed pneumonia. His family is arranging a specialised medical repatriation flight to the UK, which is expected to cost over £40,000, prompting community fundraising efforts to meet the expense.

A murder inquiry has been launched after 40-year-old Steven Dossett died in hospital following a stabbing in Failsworth on June 19. Greater Manchester Police’s Major Incident Team is leading the investigation, appealing for witnesses, CCTV and other footage. Five previously arrested individuals have been released on bail, and specialist officers are supporting the victim’s family.

Police arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of murder after a woman in her 60s was found dead at a house in Burnage, south Manchester. Officers and paramedics responded to reports of an assault, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives opened a murder investigation, and the teenager, believed to be related to the victim, remains in custody for questioning.
