Man Arrested On Suspicion Of Murder In Wigan
A man has been arrested following the death of a 62-year-old in Wigan.
At about 1.50am on Tuesday 26 August 2014, police were called to a house on Moresby Close in Leigh, Wigan, following reports of an assault.
Officers attended and established that during the disturbance, a 62-year-old man from a neighbouring property on Moresby Close had been injured.

A Home Office post-mortem examination established Derek died as a result of flexation of the neck.

Breedon Acquires 50% Interest In H V Bowen
Breedon Aggregates has bought a 50% stake in H V Bowen & Sons (Holdings) Limited.
The investment has been funded in cash from the Group's own resources.
The quarry will provide Breedon with an interest in approximately 3.4 million tonnes of strategically important high 'polished stone value' (PSV) aggregates. Sources of high (+68) PSV aggregates are very scarce and Tan-y-Foel has some of the highest quality reserves in the country. High PSV stone has a high skid resistance and is therefore in great demand for surfacing roads with heavy traffic flows. H V Bowen also operates a ready-mixed concrete plant.
The business will continue to trade as H V Bowen and will be jointly managed by Breedon Aggregates England Limited and the Bowen family, who have owned and operated the quarry for more than 70 years.
