Two more people have been arrested in connection with the death of Craig Wilcox, whose body was found at Dovestone Reservoir in February.

The men, aged 37 and 28, were arrested yesterday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and production of cannabis. The 37 year old has been bailed until October 17, the 28 year old until October 28.

Mr Wilcox (28) was last seen on January 6 by relatives in Norfolk Crescent, Failsworth. An investigation into his whereabouts later estrablished that Mr Wilcox had feared for his safety.

His body was found on February 24 when police were called to the Greenfield reservoir.

Four other people have previously been arrested as part of the investigation and subsequently bailed, bringing the total number of arrests to six.
