Man no longer suspect in woman's murder, police say
Police say a 25-year-old man has been released on bail as detectives continue to seek others believed to have been involved.
On Thursday, October 15, 26-year-old Alisha Samuels was pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded to a disturbance on Dorking Avenue in Newton Heath, Manchester at about 02:00 BST.
A 25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on police bail and is no longer being treated as a suspect by Greater Manchester Police pending further inquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Justin Bryant, the senior investigating officer, said the investigation remains "very much active" and police are "relentlessly pursuing" those responsible for Samuels' death.
Alisha's family requested privacy while dealing with the "devastating loss of their loved one," while Bryant urged the public not to speculate about her death's circumstances.
