A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a woman has been found in Salford. At about 9.15am on Thursday 6 March 2014, police were called to an address on Holt Street to reports of a concern for welfare. When officers attended they found the body of a 24-year-old woman. A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody for questioning. A post mortem will take place later and enquiries are ongoing. Chief Superintendent Mary Doyle from Salford division, said: “A woman has been killed and our thoughts are with her family and friends at what is obviously a totally devastating time for them. “While it would not be appropriate to speculate on how she died, a full and thorough post mortem examination will be taking place in due course to establish exactly how and when she died. We will update the community with more information following this. “I would like to reassure residents that we do not believe there is any danger to the community, we believe this is an isolated incident and are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death. “We have a team of highly skilled detectives already working on this case but if anyone has any information they think can assist please call us.” Anyone with information should phone police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
