Arrested man eliminated from inquiry as police seek killer of Jalal Uddin
Jalal Uddin died in hospital from serious head injuries after being assaulted in a children's playground in Rochdale on Thursday night. A 31-year-old man arrested yesterday on suspicion of murder has now been released without charge and eliminated from police inquiries. Detectives say a racist motive for the murder has not been ruled out but they are keeping an "open mind". It is now believed he was assaulted sometime between 8:41pm and 8:48pm after he was walking home from a friend's house on South Street. Detective Chief Inspector Terry Crompton of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We have carried out a significant number of inquiries since Thursday evening to establish what happened to Jalal that led to his tragic death, and we are providing support to his family. "Following extensive analysis of CCTV in the area, we now know that Jalal walked into the park from the South Street entrance at 8.41pm. He was then found injured seven minutes later by a passing member of the public. "We are keen to hear from anyone who saw anything in the South Street area around that time, and from people who were using the park that evening. You may think your information is trivial but it could be crucial to our investigation. "We are still working to establish the exact circumstances surrounding how Jalal came to suffer his injuries and we are keeping an open mind as to the motivation behind this attack, with a number of lines of inquiry currently being investigated."
