A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and Greater Manchester Police has said there is no wider risk to the public.

Multiple officers, detectives, forensics, and ambulance staff were spotted in the area today where a cordon was placed at the entrance of Somerton Court.

Police cars were stationed around the flats, with officers standing outside keeping watch.

One resident who lives in Somerton Court described to the M.E.N the moment they heard armed police enter the tower block.

“Earlier today at 18:26 I heard a big bang and a door had been kicked in,” they said. “When we heard the noise, we went to look and then went back up.

“I saw about four ambulances go in as well as armed police and thought, what’s going on?’”

A scene remains in place.
