Police need to trace the driver of a grey or silver car
Four men have been charged with murder after the death of a man in Greater Manchester.

Father-of-one Paul Wilson, 32, from Denton, died in Tameside General Hospital from multiple injuries in the early hours of Saturday morning after an incident in the town centre.

Ryan Merron, 23, Douglas Merron, 20, Gareth McGrail, 20, and Liam Hibbs, 22, from the Denton area are due to appear before Tameside magistrates on Tuesday morning.

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Barraclough said police urgently need to trace the driver of what is believed to be a grey or silver Vauxhall hatchback.

He is thought to be a white man aged between 20 and 30 with short brown hair.

Police believe he was in the car, wearing a light blue jumper with lighter blue stripes, with an older man, a woman and two young girls in Denton town centre in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Detective Superintendent Tony Porter told the BBC: "It is extremely important we know who he is and that he comes and tells us what happened that night."
