A crime scene where a human torso was found in a Salford nature reserve has been reopened more than two weeks after its discovery.
A passerby found human remainsconsisting of his lower back, buttocks and thigh, in clear plastic while walking in Kersal Dale Wetlands, Greater Manchester, on April 4.
Hundreds of specialist officers and scientists were deployed and the force closed the site on Wednesday, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
Officers have now reopened scenes on Great Clowes Street and the marshes following “further reports” during “investigations in the area”, GMP added.
Detective Superintendent Lewis Hughes said: “I would like to reassure you that this is a precautionary measure.
“All information we receive is thoroughly investigated, leaving no stone unturned to give us the best chance of finding out who our victim is and what happened to them.”
The victim is believed to be a 40-year-old white man who died a few days before his remains were found on April 4. He has not yet been identified.
