Third man arrested in connection with fatal stabbing of Neri Morse in Ancoats last week.

Neri sadly died following an incident on Pollard Street at around 6.30pm on Wednesday 20 April 2022. During this incident, a second man - also in his 20s - was injured.

Detectives believe this was linked to an incident at Zaf's Go Local on Butler Street between 6.15pm and 6.25pm that evening.

A vehicle of interest was recovered from Kenwood Road in the Reddish area of Stockport at around 11.45pm.

This morning (Wednesday 27 April 2022), a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder after presenting himself at a police station. He remains in police custody.

Rushaun Brown (17/01/98) of Higher Ardwick, Manchester has previously been charged with murder, section 18 assault and possession of a bladed article. Meshai Newby (02/08/98) of Brydon Avenue, Manchester has previously been charged with murder.
