Woman seen ‘sobbing in handcuffs’ after man in 20s killed at home as women, 19 & 27, arrested
NEIGHBOURS say they saw a woman sobbing in handcuffs as she was loaded into a police van after a man in his 20s was killed at home.
Emergency services found the man fighting for his life after a “domestic incident” in Hyde, Greater Manchester on Sunday.
Tragically he was declared dead at the scene.
Two women, aged 19 and 27, were quickly arrested on suspicion of murder.
Neighbours have since described distressing scenes as police maintained a presence on the residential street.
One local, who asked not to be named, says he watched cops swarm the area before medics battled to save the man.
He told The Sun Online: “I was in the back garden but we think there was a commotion in the front door of their home.
“The next thing the road filled up with police. I saw them put a man on a stretcher and put him in the back of an ambulance which was parked in the street.
“They worked on him for around 20 minutes, but it was clear after that what had happened. They had lost him.
“I then saw a woman come out of the house in tears. She was very upset.
“She was in handcuffs and had police either side of her. They put her in the back of the van and that was it.”
Neighbour Peter Wyle, 82, said the man who died came to his rescue recently.
He recalled: “I had a bad fall in the back garden a few weeks ago and he jumped over the fence to help me. So I remember him for that.
“He only moved in around a month ago. I went away to Blackpool for the weekend and came back all of this. I did not know what had happened.
“Such a shame.”
Greater Manchester Police said they were called out to “reports of a domestic disturbance” in Thorsby Avenue at 2.55pm on Sunday.
Forensic officers worked behind a police cordon today and a forensic tent could be seen in the front garden of a terraced house.
