Arrest Made in Murder Case
An individual has been apprehended on suspicion of murder in Manchester, and authorities are appealing to witnesses who may have seen a person in a balaclava near the crime scene.
On Sunday 7 July, a 30-year-old man was taken into custody in Longsight, Manchester, in connection to the case.
The arrest comes after the discovery of Fintan McDwyer’s deceased body in Fallowfield, Manchester, on Monday 1 July.
Tribute to a Beloved Individual
The family of Mr McDwyer, whom they described as a “gentle giant” and a “true gentleman” with a great sense of humor, shared their heartfelt sentiments.
They expressed, “Fintan was like a gentle giant to us, always exuding a calm and comforting presence.”
“He had a delightful Irish accent, a genuine gentleman, a fantastic sense of humor, and a mischievous spark in his eye.”
“Fintan was universally loved, and it pains us deeply that he has been deprived of spending more time with his sons and grandchildren.”
Investigation Details
Authorities believe that a “violent assault” occurred at the property, resulting in Mr McDwyer’s fatal injuries inflicted by a sharp object, according to Greater Manchester Police.
Police are urging anyone who may have seen a person dressed in all black with a balaclava near Platt Fields Park, Fallowfield, Birchfields Park, and Rusholme around 4-4.30am to come forward.
