According to Metro UK, a body has been found in a garden after a
woman walked into a police station and said she had killed a man ‘a number of years ago’.
Police had started digging at the property in Reddish, Greater Manchester, after she said she had buried him there.
Neighbours on Matlock Road have been asked if they know a man
called Kenneth Coombes. He is believed to have been in his late 80s in
2005.
The woman made the claim at Cheadle Heath Police Station, Greater
Manchester Police said. The man’s family, who are being supported by
specially trained officers, have been informed.
Detective Inspector Dan Clegg of GMP’s major incident team, said: ‘Following
the report, we’ve made a number of other inquiries and have today, with
help from specialist officers, began searching in the garden.
‘It’s still very early days in our investigation but I’d like
to thank the public so far for their support in allowing us to carry out
our inquiries, I’m sure this has been worrying for people in the local
area.’
