The man at the centre of a murder investigation in Rochdale has been pictured for the first time as his family paid tribute to the "best dad, grandad, uncle and friend".
Geoffrey Ives was found dead in his flat on Hardfield Street in Heywood on Sunday (January 29). Police found the 75-year-old's body following a ‘concern for welfare’ call the same day.
A murder investigation was launched a week later on Sunday (February 5) when investigations found his death ‘could be suspicious’. No arrests have been made and GMP are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
