    The family of a man have decided to exhume his remains and move them after a burial site was desecrated twice.

    Greater Manchester Police are appealing for information after the cemetery plot in Blackley was damaged.

    The grave of William "Billy" Isaac was "disturbed" on 27 June and 4 July.

    Mr Isaacs died aged 45 in 2013 and his family said he was not buried with "any items of monetary value".

    Detective Inspector Claire Moss from GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “Police enquiries are ongoing, but we believe that this incident was targeted to this specific plot.

    “This is a despicable act, and it has caused the family an enormous amount of anguish and grief in finding out that their loved one’s grave has twice been disturbed in what is meant to be a place of rest.

    “The motivation for this incident is unclear at this stage of the investigation, but the family want to make it known that their loved one was not buried with any items of monetary value.

    “We will do everything we can to find out who is responsible for this, and I would appeal to any members of the public who know anything to please get in touch with police.”
