When human body parts were found wrapped in plastic in the secluded woodland of Kersal Dale, Salford, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) immediately launched a massive operation, pulling together hundreds of officers, detectives, crime scene investigators, and specialist operations staff.
The complex and harrowing investigation began on April 4, 2024, when a member of the public found a human torso in the Salford woodland. From the outset, the Major Incident Team faced an uphill battle. They were dealing with partial remains, no immediate identity for the victim, and a race against time.
