Early inquiries suggest the victim was hit by a black Land Rover as he tried to prevent the theft of his own vehicle, police said.
Two men have been arrested after a 'devoted family man' was killed trying to prevent his car being stolen, police have said. Christopher Hanley, 57, died after being found unresponsive on Olympic Street, in Beswick, near Manchester city centre, just before 11am on Saturday. Flowers have been left near the scene of what a local person called a 'horrible' incident.
' A local man who did not want to be named, said he was woken up by a car revving and soon afterwards, 'the street was full of blue lights. 'One of the people who responded first, she was an off-duty nurse, she was the first person there and may have called the police. 'It has been a bit of a shock, but no one knows who he was, so we are all in the dark. It's not like you know one of your neighbours and he has been killed. We don't know who he was or if he was local.
