Man arrested on suspicion of murder after mysterious disappearance of woman who was last seen more than a year ago
A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the mysterious disappearance of a woman who was last seen more than a year ago.
Police searching for Victoria Cherry, 44, now say they are treating the investigation as a "non-body murder" after she disappeared from her home in Fulwood, Lancashire, in October 2015.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police today carried out a search of a property in Bolton and say they have arrested a 43-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Terry Crompton, of GMP's Serious Crime Division, said: “My thoughts are with Victoria’s family, who are being offered the support of specialist officers at this incredibly difficult time.
