Shortly after 12am this morning (Tuesday 27 December), GMP were called by colleagues in the ambulance service to a report of a man with serious injuries that appear to be consistent with a stab wound near Clarendon Park in Salford.
Sadly, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial enquiries are underway and no arrests have yet been made.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Superintendent Natalie Dalby, said:

"These are the very early stages of what is now a murder investigation, and a team of detectives are working tirelessly to piece together information and evidence. We will be following-up a number of different lines of enquiry we have to ensure those responsible are brought to justice."
"Officers from the Salford district will be providing a visible presence in the coming days for reassurance and we would like to thank the local community for their cooperation and patience so far."
