A man whose body was found buried in a garden was allegedly killed by his daughter years ago, the BBC understands.<\/p>\n
Greater Manchester Police said a woman made a confession at Cheadle Heath police station on Sunday.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, remains of a male, believed to be Kenneth Coombes, were found in a garden in Matlock Road, Reddish, near Stockport.<\/p>\n
A 63-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder.<\/p>\n
A police spokesman said the man had not been formally identified but his family had been informed and was being supported by specially trained officers.<\/p>\n
He said it was “still very early days in our investigation” and thanked the public “so far for their support”.<\/p>\n
The cordon on this quiet suburban street in Reddish has now been extended a second time this morning by police.<\/p>\n
Part of the road has been shut and the cordon is 200ft as police continue the search of the crime scene after the grim discovery of human remains on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Officers have worked through the night with much of the work focusing on the rear end of the garden.<\/p>\n
Workmen at the property next door have been told they cannot work today as the search continues.<\/p>\n
Door-to-door inquiries have been conducted on Matlock Road, with residents being asked if they know a man called Kenneth Coombes.<\/p>\n
The questionnaire suggests Mr Coombes was in his late 80s in 2005.<\/p>\n
A man by the same name, who was recorded as living on the street, would have been 99 years old today.<\/p>\n
Yvonne Harrison, who lives a few doors away from the crime scene, spoke of her “horror” about a body being found in a neighbouring garden.<\/p>\n
“It’s really shocking and very strange,” she said.<\/p>\n
