Greater Manchester Police is appealing for information

A murder investigation has been launched after a woman was found dead at a property in Manchester.

Officers were called to reports of a disturbance at an address on Crondall Street in Moss Side at about 13:30 BST.

Emergency services found the body of a woman and a 26-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Det Ch Insp Louise Edwards said police believed the incident was isolated and there was no wider threat to the community.

A scene remains in place while officers carry out enquiries.

Edwards added: "We would ask that people stay away from the scene and we'd like to thank the local community for their patience while officers undertake their work."

Greater Manchester Police is asking anyone with information to get in touch.
