The death of a 16-year-old girl in Kersal Salford is no longer being treated as suspicious.

At around 9.25am on Monday 28 January 2019 police were called to reports that a 16-year-old girl was missing from her home in Prestwich, Bury.

Shortly before 9.45am police received a second call saying that the girl had sadly been found dead in a derelict building near to Brookside Drive in Kersal.

A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder, however he has now been released and there will be no further action taken.

A file will now be passed on to the Coroner
