A man initially arrested on suspicion of murder in Rochdale has instead been arrested for theft.
On Sunday (10 June) afternoon the body of a woman believed to be in her 70s was discovered at a property on Balderstone Road in Kirkholt and a 55-year-old man was arrested at the scene.
The man is no longer under arrest for murder but has been arrested on suspicion of theft.
He is no longer in custody but remains under investigation.
The results from a post mortem were inconclusive and detectives are working to ascertain the cause of death.
Detective Inspector Mark McDowall, from GMP’s Rochdale district, said: “A dedicated team of officers will continue to uncover exactly what happened to this woman and how she came to lose her life.
“We will carry on with our extensive enquiries which include forensic work, CCTV recovery and taking witness accounts.
“While we do this I would continue to urge the public to please get in touch with any information. If you saw or heard anything suspicious, please contact us.”
