The victim has been named
A murder investigation has been launched after officers responding to a 'dog burglary' discovered the body of a 45-year-old man. Police were called out to an address on Ainsworth Road, in Radcliffe, at around 10.30am on Tuesday following reports of a burglary - with a white labradoodle dog being taken from the house.
Donald’s loved ones described him as 'a much-loved son, brother and father and will be sorely missed by many, affectionately known as Prentice'. They are currently being supported by family liaison officers while the dog is being looked after by the relevant authority, GMP says.Due to the circumstances in which the man was found, a home office post-mortem examination has taken place and this has concluded that death is suspicious.
Detective Chief Inspector Rachel Smith, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: "First, as a force, we would like to pass on our condolences to Donald's loved ones at this extremely distressing time, we are doing all we can to get the answers they deserve and find out what has happened.
