Police investigating the killing of a shop-worker who was shot at least six times in Greater Manchester have charged a 20-year-old man with murder.

Nasar Hussain, known locally as Nasar Shazad, 30, was shot at Brookhouse Wines in Winton, Salford, on 4 July.

Ryan Manning, of Higher Ince, Wigan, has been charged with his murder, the police confirmed.

A 17-year-old boy who was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder has been released on bail.

Eleven other people have been arrested on suspicion of the same conspiracy offence. The nine men and two women have been bailed until 17 August.

A man arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender was released without charge.

Mr Manning will appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Earlier this week, Mr Hussain's father, who lives in a remote part of Pakistan, said he was devastated by his son's death.

Mr Hussain had only moved to the Salford area six months before his death.
