Officers were called to a disturbance on Tarn Drive, Bury just before midnight on Wednesday where a 24-year-old man died after he was found with injuries "consistent with a stabbing", according to Greater Manchester Police.

Anthony Junior Murray, 25, has been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article, a police spokesman said.

Murray, of Tarn Drive, was due to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Police said a woman in her 20s who was also arrested has been bailed pending further inquiries and the investigation is ongoing.
