Two Eccles men have appeared in court charged with the murder of a man whose torso was found in the Kersal Dale woodland area.
Michal Jaroslaw Polchowski, 68, and Marcin Majerkiewicz, 42, both of Worsley Road, Eccles, were charged with murder this afternoon (April 29) at Tameside Magistrates’ Court.
Dressed in grey prison-issue tracksuits, they spoke only to confirm their names and dates of birth.
They are accused of the murder of a “person unknown” between March 25 and April 2.
Both of the suspects will appear at Manchester Crown Court tomorrow (April 30) at 9.30am.
The defendants were remanded in custody.
A torso, consisting of the bottom of the back, buttocks and thigh, was found in clear plastic by a passer-by at Kersal Dale Wetlands in Salford on April 4.
Remains were found at two more locations over the weekend and this morning police said there had been a further discovery in an alleyway close to railway lines off Worsley Road in Eccles.
The force said remains found at the other three locations are still to be tested but officers are confident they belong to the same victim whose identity has not been released to the public.
ACC Sarah Jackson, from GMP, said: “We have had large numbers of officers, staff and specialists working diligently on this investigation over the last three weeks. It has been very much a large, collective effort, with the victim and family at the heart of it from the outset.
“We have specially trained officers deployed to support the family as they come to terms with this tragic news. They are aware of this morning’s further discovery and will continue to be kept up to date with how we are progressing.”
