The neighbours of an elderly man at the centre of an ongoing murder investigation in Timperley have spoken of their shock at the tragedy and remembered him as 'lovely' and 'a gentleman'.
Riddings Road turned into a major crime scene on Sunday afternoon (July 9) after emergency services were called to reports of a 'domestic disturbance' at around 2.30pm.
The victim, now publicly named as John Neil, was found with critical injuries and rushed to hospital from the scene, where he died a short time later. A murder probe was launched, with forensics and detectives remaining at the house for a number of days.
