Man's death in Oldham being treated as murder
Detectives don't yet know how or why he died
Detectives say they're doing all they can to establish why a man died in Oldham.
They're treating the death of a 50 year old at a property in Eldon Street on Wednesday night as murder.
They say they were called to the home at 7.50pm after the man was found deceased. His family have been informed and continue to be supported by specially trained officers.
Enquiries are ongoing to determine the full circumstances which led to the man’s death, and officers remain in the area as part of this investigation and for community reassurance.
A 64-year-old man remains in custody on suspicion of murder.
Detective Inspector Andrew Barrett from Oldham CID said:
“We are working hard to understand what has happened and get the answers his family deserve.
“At the moment, the man’s cause of death is undetermined, but enquiries are ongoing, and we have made an arrest to progress this investigation forward.
“We have already spoken to several people living in the area, but house to house enquiries are continuing throughout the day. We would ask anyone who may have any information about the incident to please pass this onto officers, as it could be of great assistance.”
