Further arrest over shop murder

The scene of the shooitng

A 13th person has been arrested over the murder of a shop worker who was shot in Salford.

Nasar Hussain, known locally as Nasar Shazad, 30, was shot at least six times at Brookhouse Wines in Winton, Salford, on Saturday night. He died in hospital.

A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Nine men and two women arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder have been bailed until August, Greater Manchester Police said.

'Good son'

One man arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released without charge.

Mr Hussain, a Pakistani, moved to the Salford area six months before his death.

His father, who does not want to be named, said Mr Hussain was "very kind and a good son".

He died from wounds to his chest and stomach when a gunman opened fire in the Brookhouse Avenue shop.

The killer escaped in a blue Mazda, registered M239 NUK, which was later found burned out in Wigan.
