The family of a Lebanese man found dead in the Manchester Ship Canal gave police a list of names for people who may have harmed him, a court has heard. Haydar Alzokra's body was found in the canal last July 25 by a member of the public.
The 28-year-old had spent time in Forest Bank, Liverpool and Altcourse prisons during the year he had spent in the UK but was 'on bail' when he was found dead, South Manchester Coroners Court heard on Wednesday (March 22). DCI Nicola Walton told the pre-inquest review that police were continuing to make enquiries following Mr Alzokra's death, and had made checks after a dossier was handed over by relatives.
"We received a document from the family with the names of some people that they have concerns about," she said. "We've made enquiries into those names but we can't find any trace of them on our systems.
