In a disturbing turn of events, Greater Manchester Police made a gruesome discovery of a headless human torso wrapped in plastic at Kersal Wetlands in Salford on Thursday evening. The victim, a 40-year-old man who had been deceased for several days, was found in the secluded wooded area.

A comprehensive investigation, involving canine units, search teams, and forensic specialists, has been launched, treating the case as a homicide. While authorities continue to scour the area for additional body parts, nothing further has been uncovered thus far. However, a postmortem examination will be conducted to ascertain the identity of the deceased.

Chief Superintendent Tony Creely, Salford district commander, addressed the media in a press conference, expressing the swift progression of the tragic investigation. He emphasized the importance of identifying the victim to provide support to his grieving family during this distressing time.

How did he die?

On Thursday evening, a local resident made a chilling discovery of human remains wrapped in plastic within a wooded area. Prompted by this unsettling find, police swiftly responded to the scene.

Initially, authorities believed the remains belonged to an adult, but the lack of the entire body has hindered efforts to determine the cause of death. According to reports from the Daily Mail, the torso was found devoid of arms or a head.

As forensic officials meticulously investigate the area, no arrests have been made thus far. Greater Manchester Police has urged the public to share any information they may have regarding this distressing discovery.
