A man who was stabbed to death in Bolton has been named as 25-year-old Tyrone Williamson as the investigation continues.
Shortly before 6.40pm on Saturday 11 December 2021, police were called to reports of a stabbing on Battenberg Road, Bolton.
Emergency services attended and 25-year-old Tyrone Williamson was taken to hospital where he sadly later died.
Officers were subsequently called at around 8.40pm the same day to additional reports that a 41-year-old man had been stabbed near to Lincoln Road, Bolton.
Both incidents are believed to be linked and enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding these events.
