In a successful operation by the Greater Manchester Police (GMP), a man wanted in connection with a murder was located and apprehended in Bolton town centre last night. The 18-year-old suspect was identified by neighbourhood police officers, who were on patrol as part of Operation Overspill, a community safety initiative aimed at reducing crime in the area.
The suspect’s suspicious behavior prompted the officers to conduct a stop search, which revealed his connection to the murder of Susanne Galvin in September of this year. He has now been taken into police custody for further questioning by the GMP Major Incident Team (MIT), who are leading the ongoing murder investigation.
