BREAKING: Police make second arrest in Moss Side murder investigation

Detectives investigating the murder of a 22-year-old graduate in Moss Side have made a second arrest.

A murder probe was launched following the death of Badri Issa on Moss Lane East last Wednesday (October 25). He was rushed to hospital from the scene with a serious stab wound after his friend alerted the emergency services but tragically, he died.

Police believe a 'disturbance' had previously taken place between Mr Issa, his friend and two men. The two men fled the scene in a car.
