Three men have been arrested in GMP’s investigation into the murder of Sadiq Al-lami

An 18-year-old man, 22-year-old man and a 24-year-old man have all been arrested on suspicion of murder. They remain in police custody.

On Thursday 25 January, another man, Noraiz Kamal (18/01/2006) was charged with murder and remains in custody.

Sadiq sadly died in the early hours of Tuesday 23 January 2024 after officers responded to an incident that occurred at the junction near Parrs Wood on the A34 Kingsway in East Didsbury.

Detective Inspector Alex Wilkinson of GMP Major Incident Team said: “Our investigation continues to progress well - we have made a total of four arrests and have secured one charge so far.

“That being said, our investigation is far from over and as officers we continue to carry out extensive enquiries to find answers for Sadiq’s family. I would like to reassure the public that we are working hard to ascertain the full details of this case.

“Our thoughts remain with Sadiq’s family who remain aware of the progress being made in this investigation.”

GMP’s Major Incident Team still want to hear from anyone who believes they may have CCTV or dashcam footage, or who witnessed anything which could assist officers with their investigation by calling 101 and quoting log 166 of 23/01/2024.
