Underneath the blazing, midday sun, another knife attack ripped apart a Greater Manchester community. A manhunt is underway after a 44-year-old woman was killed in a stabbing in Droylsden, Tameside.
Officers remain on Edge Lane this evening (June 2), close to the Ashton Canal, with an arrest yet to be made. Police say the male suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction.
Edge Lane was taped off on either side of the canal, between Manchester Road and Wheler Street, at the border with Openshaw. A forensics tent was placed near to the towpath entrance, with several crime scene investigators gathering evidence.
