Third man charged in Murder investigation

Detectives investigating the death of a Dad from south Manchester have charged a third man with murder.

37 year old Warren Burns died following an incident at a property on Heysham Avenue last month.

Police say a third man has been charged with murder and is in police custody.

Police say Warren sadly passed away in hospital on Sunday 21 May 2023, after he was assaulted at an address on Heysham Avenue in Fallowfield.

In an earlier tribute, Warren’s family described Warren as a ‘fun-loving’, ‘larger-than-life character with a gentle soul’ and said he would be ‘greatly missed.’

Detective Chief Inspector Nicola McCulloch of GMP's Major Incident Team said: “We are determined to get justice for Warren and bring closure to his family who have been left devastated by this loss.

“Extensive work is going on in the background and the investigation team are working hard to piece together the events that led to Warren’s death. We are continuing to appeal to anyone with information regarding this incident to do the right thing and share it with us.

“This includes anyone with knowledge about the incident, witnesses or anyone who has footage – including CCTV, dashcam or mobile phone footage relating to the incident."
