A man who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after four Vietnamese men were killed in a mill fire has been released on bail, police have confirmed.
The 34-year-old was arrested yesterday (Thursday) in connection with the deaths of Uoc Van Nguyen, 31, Cuong Van Chu, 39, Duong Van Nguyen, 29, and 21-year-old Nam Thanh Lee. He was quizzed by detectives on suspicion of manslaughter, cultivation of cannabis and participation in the activities of an organised crime group.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said today that he has since been released on bail with conditions, while the investigation is ongoing. Officers made the arrest as they also carried out multiple raids at five homes and two commercial properties in Oldham and Ashton-under-Lyne.
