Good evening. Police in Salford have appealed to the community to

:00:12.:00:14.

help solve the murder of a university student who was shot

:00:14.:00:18.

dead early this morning. The 23 year-old had been visiting the area

:00:18.:00:22.

for the festive season. Detectives say he was killed in an unprovoked

:00:22.:00:29.

attack. Naomi Cornwell is at Swinton Police Station.

:00:29.:00:33.

What more do we know about the victim?

:00:33.:00:37.

Police haven't named the date and yet, but we know that he was 23

:00:37.:00:41.

years old and from India. We believe he was studying at

:00:41.:00:44.

Lancaster University. He had been on a short break to the Manchester

:00:44.:00:51.

area, staying in a hotel nearby. Him and a group of Indian students

:00:51.:00:55.

were walking along the lane behind me when they were approached by two

:00:55.:00:59.

men who were on the other side of the road. There was no argument,

:00:59.:01:04.

say the police, only a few words were exchanged between the groups.

:01:04.:01:09.

But one of the men pulled out a handgun and shot the man at close

:01:09.:01:13.

range. What have the police said about the killer? They described

:01:13.:01:19.

the gunman as being white, in his mid-twenties and of slim build,

:01:19.:01:22.

wearing a great Cup. The man with him was more heavily built and

:01:22.:01:28.

wearing a black jacket. I need them to come forward and so render

:01:28.:01:32.

themselves to justice. We will find them, I am particularly interested

:01:32.:01:37.

in the man who was with him. He should come forward and say what is

:01:37.:01:40.

going on. They are obviously extremely violent and the sooner we

:01:40.:01:46.

bring them to justice, the better. Police say there is no indication

:01:46.:01:49.

that this was a racially motivated attack, that they had no indication

:01:49.:01:54.

of any motive at the moment. They have said they will be stepping up

:01:54.:01:56.

patrols in the area in the next few days.

:01:56.:01:59.

Thank you. A man's being questioned by police

:01:59.:02:02.

after a house was badly damaged by fire and explosion at Huyton on

:02:02.:02:04.

Merseyside yesterday. Nearby homes were evacuated after the blast

:02:04.:02:07.

early on Christmas morning. The man who was arrested is in hospital

:02:07.:02:12.

with burns. No-one else was hurt. A search is continuing for an 84-

:02:12.:02:15.

year-old woman who disappeared from her home in Cheshire over Christmas.

:02:15.:02:17.

Magdalana Whittaker, who's said to be very hard-of-hearing, was

:02:17.:02:27.
:02:27.:02:30.

reported missing by a friend in Congleton on Christmas Eve.

:02:30.:02:33.

Thousands of people went to the Boxing Day sales in the North West,

:02:33.:02:36.

in the hope of grabbing a bargain, some queuing from the early hours

:02:36.:02:39.

of this morning. 120,000 were expected through the doors of both

:02:39.:02:41.

the Trafford Centre and Liverpool One shopping centre today. I came

:02:42.:02:48.

here at 4am. I came at 5:30am. It was worth it, I got a few bargains.

:02:49.:02:54.

Digby percent of everything, I was pleased. -- 50 %.

:02:55.:02:57.

Football, and Manchester United had an emphatic 5-0 win over Wigan at

:02:58.:03:00.

Old Trafford, but Manchester City remain top of the premier league on

:03:01.:03:03.

goal difference, after a goal-less draw at West Brom. Liverpool were

:03:03.:03:07.

held to a 1-1 draw by Blackburn whilst Bolton lost 2-0 at home to

:03:07.:03:16.

Newcastle. Everton and Sunderland Tranmere's game was called off

:03:16.:03:22.

after strong winds blew off the roof at the park. There is no date

:03:22.:03:30.

It has been windy this afternoon with doubled figure temperatures.

:03:30.:03:33.

We will hang on to them for one more day and then for the rest of

:03:33.:03:38.

the week, they will dip down to single figures and the winds will

:03:38.:03:43.

pick up. This evening will remain fairly windy. That will remain

:03:43.:03:49.

until the early period. Rain will drop in by dawn. A mild night.

:03:49.:03:53.

Temperatures still holding on to high single figures. Tomorrow looks

:03:53.:03:58.

like another mild date. A damp start across Cumbria, Lancashire

:03:58.:04:01.

and the Isle of Man. The rain will ease away by the afternoon.

:04:01.:04:07.

Elsewhere, breaks in the cloud allowing some bright spells to come

:04:07.:04:11.

through. Breezy, hopefully less windy in many places, and then for

:04:11.:04:16.
