A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a 93-year-old woman.

Police were called to an address on Altrincham Road in Gatley this morning (9.38am on Wednesday 16 April), where the 93-year-old was found deceased.

Following enquiries at the scene, a 39-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder - she remains in police custody.

A scene is in place while police conduct further enquiries, and residents in the area should expect police presence in the coming days.

Detective Inspector Adam Hitchen, Senior Investigating Officer, said: "The priority for our investigation is understanding the full circumstances which led to this tragic incident and getting justice for the victim.

"Our thoughts are with the victim's family, who are aware and are being supported by specialist officers.

"We recognise that this investigation may cause concern within the local community, but I want to assure the public that this is an isolated incident, with a swift arrest made, and no wider threat.

"You will notice an increased presence in the area today whilst we conduct enquiries, but also across the coming days as the local neighbourhood team look to provide reassurance to those living close by.
