Police appeal for information after 32-year-old man goes missing in Salford
GMP issued a public plea across its social media platforms late yesterday evening.
Greater Manchester Police has issued a public plea for information on the whereabouts of a man missing from the Salford area.
According to a statement released by the force appealing for information yesterday, 32-year-old Dominic Yarwood was last seen at around 7.15pm on Woodland Grange in Worsley, and is possibly wearing dark clothing and a black beanie hat.
GMP issued the public plea across its social media platforms late yesterday evening.
Dominic is described by those who know him as a white male of slim build and around 6ft tall, with short brown hair, and stubble.
No further information has been issued as of yet.
The sad news of Dominic’s disappearance has hit home for the Greater Manchester public, especially in light of the recent case of 20-year-old student Charley Gadd – who has been missing from Manchester city centre and not seen since the early hours of Saturday morning.

The body of a missing 15-year-old boy has sadly been recovered from the water at a country park in Salford.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were called to reports of a teenager getting in to difficulty in the water at Clifton Country Park in Salford at around 4:51pm this past Saturday (27 June).
Since then, emergency services – including partners from Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service (GMFRS) and North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) – have been working together to locate the missing boy.
But despite their best efforts, a body was, unfortunately, located in the water yesterday (29 June).
The body was recovered from the water by specialists at North West Under Water Search and Marine Unit, GMP confirmed.
Formal identification is yet to take place, but police are supporting the family of the missing boy in the meantime.
“Saturday’s incident is truly heartbreaking,” commented Detective Inspector Dave Ogden, from the Salford CID.
“My thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of the young boy who has so tragically lost his life. While we are satisfied there are no suspicious circumstances, this incident is an incredibly upsetting reminder of the serious risks associated with open water.

Man named and charged with ‘brutal’ murder at Peak District stone circle on summer solstice
Emily Sergeant
A man has been formally named as he’s charged with murder after a man’s life was taken in ‘the most brutal way’ following a summer solstice event.
He has been named as Szymon Babynko – a 23-year-old Polish national who now lives in London.
Babynko was named as part of an ongoing investigation, which was launched after Derbyshire Police were called to reports of a man’s body being found at Nine Ladies Stone Circle in the Peak District at 1:38pm on Monday 22 June, and when emergency services attended the scene, a 26-year-old man was found and pronounced dead.
The man was identified as Isaac Clare-Watts, from Nottingham, with police assuring his family are being supported by specialist officers.
Police are now searching to understand the circumstances around his death.
Babynko was arrested on Thursday 25 June in connection with the incident, before being charged with murder today (29 June).
He has also been charged with attempted murder in relation to another incident on Hady Lane in Chesterfield on Thursday 25 June, the same day he was arrested.
Investigators say they still remain ‘keen’ to hear from anyone who was at the stone circle site over the weekend – which was notably the weekend of the summer solstice – as well as anyone with video footage from the event, and dashcam footage of vehicles arriving and leaving over the weekend.
A Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) has been set up where members of the public can send information to police directly.

Babynko has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Derby Magistrates Court this week, with more updates on the case to follow.
