Poster appeal over fire killing

Appeal poster over Julie Anne Duffy's death Police are making a renewed appeal to find the murderer of a woman who died when her house was set on fire.

Julie Anne Duffy, 38, was rescued from the blaze at her home in Essex Road, Brinnington, Stockport, but died later.

Her partner was seriously hurt. The fire was started deliberately in the hall, trapping Ms Duffy upstairs.

Greater Manchester police have launched a local poster campaign urging anyone with information on events leading up to the fire to contact them.

The fire was started in the early hours of Thursday 28 September.

Her partner, a man in his 30s, suffered serious injuries when he jumped from an upstairs window.

Det Supt Ian Foster, from Greater Manchester Police, said: "This arson attack has taken the life of a young woman and seriously injured her partner.

"We have distributed leaflets in the area asking for further information from the community and officers were patrolling around the area last night, stopping cars in the early hours of the morning, around a similar time to when the fire took place."
