Another two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a teenager in Rochdale.
17-year-old Callum Riley was found with serious injuries on Atholl Drive, Heywood on Saturday 17 September, and was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and a 23-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
