I’m at Blackleach Country Park in Walkden where human remains were found over the weekend.
Police believe they belong to the same man whose torso was discovered in Kersal Dale earlier in the month.

Resharing this for weekend listening. It might be the Britishiest thing I’ve ever worked on! (against some stiff competition). Local journalism is a treasure. Take a listen.
For the BBC, here's a story of a scam like no other. Featuring cannabis in orange crates, an old-timey eBay phishing scheme, and a fake Pudsey Bear suit. (With a shoutout to the Post Office scandal too.) Great to work w/ @mattrewern @therimaahmed @birchos bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0hltb2…
If you love True Crime, take a listen to the astonishing story of serial fraudster David Levi.
A man who led a £500,000 charity scam and has an intriguing criminal past.
