A grandfather found dead at his Chadderton home has been named as Graham Bottomley, as police continue to question a suspected burglar on suspicion of murder. The Manchester Evening News reported that Mr Bottomley, a widower in his late 70s and a retired double-glazing worker, lived alone on Whitstable Close.

Officers found his body while investigating a series of burglaries, and a man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of murder. Detective Superintendent Amber Waywell said: "This remains a complex and developing investigation."
