Officers investigating the suspicious death of a man have appealed for information.

They found the body of a man, who has not been identified, on land between Great Cheetham Street West and Broughton Cricket & Rugby Club.

Two men were arrested at the scene with a further man later arrested, all on suspicion of murder.

They have since been released on bail pending further inquiries.
