A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a man at a house in Atherton last week.
It comes after Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were called reports of a man being unconscious at a property on Samuel Street in the Greater Manchester town of Atherton at around 6:08pm last Friday evening (17 November), and attended the scene to find a man who’d sustained an injury described as being “serious”.
Despite the best efforts of all emergency services who attended the scene, the man tragically passed away a short time later – with police saying they believe he had been stabbed.
With a murder investigation having now been launched, and enquiries currently ongoing, the man has since been named as 49-year-old Paul Marsh, and his family have paid a touching tribute to the “unconditionally loved” father earlier this week.

At the time the family’s tribute was paid, GMP revealed that a teenage boy had been arrested in connection with the incident, and yesterday evening, the force has now confirmed that he has been charged with murder.
The boy, who is 16 years old, cannot be named for legal reasons.

GMP says the boy was remanded in custody ahead of an appearance at Manchester Youth Court today (Wednesday 22 November).

National Lottery hunts for Tameside player who’s not claimed £1m winnings
Daisy Jackson
The hunt is on to find a National Lottery player in Tameside who’s won £1m – and not claimed it.
The missing millionaire won the huge prize on a Lotto ticket bought on Wednesday 1 July, somewhere in the Borough of Tameside.
But with just two months to go until the prize expires, the player has still not come forward to claim their winnings.
The winning numbers in were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
Now, the National Lottery is renewing its search for the millionaire, calling for the mystery winner to cash in their prize before it expires at midnight on 28 December.
National Lottery Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter has been out in Tameside ‘hunting’ for the missing millionaire, visiting everywhere from Portland Basin to Hartshead Pike.
Andy said: “I’ve searched high and low across Tameside for our missing millionaire, but I’ve had no luck.

“With just two months left to claim this £1 million prize, now is the time for anyone who bought a Lotto ticket in Tameside for the 1 July draw to have another look.
“The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary, while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire.
“We’d love to find the person we’ve been looking for and turn this search into a celebration. So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside’s missing millionaire. It could be you.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
