Detectives have launched a murder investigation after a man died in Withington.
Shortly before 8.40pm on Saturday 16 June Greater Manchester Police were called by the ambulance service to reports that a man had fallen ill at a property on Heysham Avenue.
A 28-year-old man was taken to hospital but later died.
From initial enquiries, officers believe the man was assaulted earlier that day and are working to establish exactly where this happened.
Detective Inspector Wes Knights, from GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “The investigation is in its very early stages but from enquiries so far we believe this man was subjected to a brutal attack at some point on Saturday.
“The family is understandably beside themselves and we are doing everything we can to find out exactly what happened to him and those who are responsible for his death.
“Specially trained officers continue to offer their support to them, while a team of detectives and forensic officers are trawling through potential evidence and information that can help us piece together the hours leading up to his death.”
