A murder investigation has been launched
Neighbours have been left 'floored' after a murder investigation was launched over the death of a 77-year-old man. Residents living close to the scene heard an 'almighty crash' before seeing 'flashing blue lights' arrive.
A 33-year-old man from Haydock was arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody for questioning. Neighbours told the Liverpool Echo that police had been parked up outside the house for 48 hours.One neighbour, who has lived on Clipsley Lane for 38 years, said: "It's really sad. Shocking to be honest. It's not something you think is going to happen on your doorstep."
"I'd gone to bed because I wasn't feeling very well. My son came in to ask me to turn the telly off because I'd fallen asleep with it on. As he came out of his room, he saw blue lights coming up the road. He looked out and saw an ambulance outside. The neighbour said their son came home from work and heard an 'almighty crash'. He said: "I heard an almighty crash and then nothing and went to sleep."
