A 33-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a grenade attack in Manchester.

Anthony Wilkinson surrendered to police in an Openshaw park yesterday.

He is one of two men sought by Greater Manchester Police in connection with the death of David Short (46) whose body was found at a house in Clayton, Manchester, after a blast on August 10.

Police are still searching for Dale Cregan (29). A silver Ford Fiesta, believed to be the pair’s getaway car, was dumped in Lord Lane, Failsworth.

Greater Manchester Police has offered a £50,000 reward to anyone who supplied the force with information that led to the arrest of Wilkinson and Cregan.

Cregan is also wanted in connection with the death of David Short’s son, Mark, shot in the Cotton Tree Pub, Droylsden on May 25
