Michael Cope: Fugitive Murder Suspect On CCTV

Detectives have released CCTV images of what they believe is a recent sighting of fugitive murder suspect Michael Cope.

Cope, 28, is wanted in connection with the "sustained and vicious" killing of mother-of-two Linzi Ashton, who was found at her home in Winton, Salford, by relatives late last month.

The pictures are from a convenience store in Hindley, Wigan, where Cope withdrew money and was seen buying food at about 1.25pm last Sunday.

Detective Chief Superintendent Darren Shenton said: "It has now been almost three weeks since Linzi's murder, since which officers have been working very hard to find Michael Cope."

He said Ms Ashton's family were being updated on the investigation, and he urged the public to get in touch if they spotted anything suspicious in the area.

"We believe Cope is familiar with the canal pathways between Salford and Leigh, and may have spent time near the canal and waterways in Hindley," he explained.

"He may have been sleeping rough and we would urge people to report any suspicious behaviour around outbuildings, sheds or gardens as well as disused railway lines and open land."

He added: "However, in their vigilance we would like to remind people that if Cope is seen he is not to be approached, as we do believe that he is dangerous and could be armed. Anyone who sees him should call the police immediately."

Cope had a brief and "acrimonious" relationship with Ms Ashton, 25, who had two daughters, Destiny, seven, and Daisy, two.

A post-mortem concluded she died as a result of pressure to the neck and multiple injuries.

A reward of £25,000 is being offered for anyone with information that leads to Cope's arrest and conviction.
