35-year-old Barbara Nomakhosi was found dead in Walnut Avenue on Friday 06 September
A man suspected of killing a woman in Bury just hours before he died in a collision on the M65 has been named by police.
35-year-old Barbara Nomakhosi was found dead in Walnut Avenue at around 22:30BST on Friday 06 September.
Detectives identified a man suspected of killing her following her death, and have now named him as Molifi Elvis Mosia, 40.
It is believed he died in a crash on the M65, involving an HGV and a pedestrian, on the same evening.
No one else is being sought in connection with the investigation into Barbara's death, and officers believe that no one else was involved.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Davis, from GMP's Major Incident Team, said: "In the hours following Barbara's death, we quickly established a suspect - Molifi Elvis Mosia.
"We don't believe anyone else was involved in the awful events of Friday night and our thoughts remain with Barbara's family.
"We are continuing to piece together the details of what led up to Barbara's death, along with the fatal collision on the M65.
"If you have any information that you consider relevant, please do get in touch with us, as it could help with our ongoing enquiries."
Investigations into both deaths are still ongoing, by GMP's Major Incident Team and Lancashire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit team.
