Killer on the run as woman, 44, dead following stabbing near canal

A killer is on the run after a 44-year-old woman died following a stabbing in Tameside. Emergency services rushed out to Edge Lane, close to the Ashton Canal in Droylsden, after being called out at around 12pm today (June 2).

Tragically, the woman died at the scene. Greater Manchester Police says initial enquiries suggest that the male suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction.

Chief Superintendent Phil Davies, Tameside’s District Commander, said: "Firstly, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim. Our specialist family liaison officers are currently with the victim’s family to support them through what is an incredibly difficult time and we will do everything we can to ensure we locate the person responsible for this callous attack.
