Police have blocked off a Salford beauty spot as they begin a new search for remains of alleged murder victim Stuart Everett.
Officers are set to begin a ‘further detailed search’ in a new location, an area of Worsley Woods known as the Roe Green Loopline, which starts at the junction of Worsley Road and Greenleach Lane.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said in a statement issued tonight that they will ‘try to keep disruption to a minimum’ but that ‘access will be limited as a result as we conduct small and methodical searches.’ “Further searches that will be conducted in the same way over the coming weeks,” they added.

Detective Chief Inspector Rachel Smith, from the force’s Major Incident Team, said: “We are thankful that you understand the immense amount of work that is going into this from the whole force.
“We remain committed, dedicated and focused on our task and this is another example of our ongoing work to do that, by being diligent and respectful towards Stuart and his loved ones who continue to try to process the tragic and upsetting circumstances.
“As we have done from the start, we will keep you updated on our progress, as we all have personally been affected by this case, but in the meantime would like to ask for your further support in this over the weekend by trying to avoid the area where possible.”
Mr Everett, 67, is believed to have died at a house in Winton at the end of March. Parts of his body were found at Kersal Dale on April 4, sparking further searches across Salford and Manchester.
