Man arrested in connection with the murder of a missing woman from Tameside.

Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin

A man has been arrested following the disappearance of a woman from Ashton.

24-year-old Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin was reported missing in early February, although she hasn't been seen since January of this year.

A 59 year-old man has now been arrested on suspicion of murder and was bailed yesterday evening (16 March).  

Senior Investigating Officer, DCI Andrew Naismith, said: "Although Alisha has not yet been located, following a number of enquiries we do believe that she has come to serious harm.

"However, the investigation is still on-going and we are not in a position to confirm any further details at this stage. We believe Alisha travelled to Durham and we have officers in that area today conducting further enquiries.

"I would urge anyone with information, or anyone who may have seen Alisha or who may have CCTV/dashcam footage since she went missing in January, to please contact police, as the smallest bit of information may help us to piece together what has happened to Alisha.

"Alisha's next of kin has been informed of the update".
