services received a call stating that the body of a man had been found in a
wooded area, just behind Moorend Lane, close to the Trans Pennine Trail.
An investigation into the man’s death is in the early stages and a cordon is
currently in place while detectives carry out enquiries.

and we are working hard to ascertain the exact circumstances which led to
his death.
“Enquiries are ongoing and officers will remain in the area throughout the
day and into the evening and weekend, speaking to people and examining the
area for forensic opportunities.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area yesterday, and who may
have seen or heard anything suspicious. It’s extremely close to the Trans
Pennine Trail, which we know is popular with dog walkers, runners, and
cyclists. If you saw anything that you think could assist with enquiries,
