Three Questioned Over Alderley Edge Murder

Three people are being questioned by police in connection with the murder of a man whose body was found in woodland in Cheshire.

Father-of-four, Rodney Marsh, 36, from Golborne in Greater Manchester, was found dead in Alderley Edge last Thursday.

His car was discovered in another part of the village.

Post mortem results show the 36-year-old had died from head injuries consistent with assault.

A man, 41, and a 31-year-old woman, both from Golborne, are currently being questioned.

A 25-year-old man from Wigan is also being quizzed.

The three were arrested in the early hours of Tuesday.

Mr Marsh's body was found by walkers, near Macclesfield Road, while his car – a Nissan Skyline – was later found by police, in Finlowe Hill Lane.
