Park searched in torso murder probe

The remains of Stuart Everett were found in several locations around Greater Manchester

Detectives investigating the alleged murder of a man whose torso was found wrapped in plastic have cordoned off another search area.

Officers began searching an area in Buile Hill Park, Salford, earlier this week based on analysis of CCTV footage.

The investigation was launched after the partial remains of Stuart Everett, 67, were found in Kersal Dale wetlands, on 4 April, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

Two men have been charged with Mr Everett's murder.

Stuart Everett's family described him as a "unique and endearing character"

The force said so far 16 separate locations have been searched, leading to the discovery of further body parts.

Det Supt Lewis Hughes, of GMP’s serious crime division, said Mr Everett's family were being kept updated on "every stage of the investigation".

"We have said since the start that we will be thorough in our approach to searching any locations of significance to the investigation and this will continue", he said.

"I would like to thank the communities across Greater Manchester, especially members of the public in Salford, who have shown us unwavering support throughout the investigation."

In a statement released in May, Mr Everett's family said they were "united in grief" over the death of the "unique and endearing character".

"He loved his food, his garden, his music and a flutter on the horses", they said.

"He did not deserve to die the way he did and will be eternally missed."

Michal Jaroslaw Polchowski, 68, and Marcin Majerkiewicz, 42, both of Worsley Road, Eccles, have been charged with Mr Everett's murder and are next due to appear in court on 18 July.
