A 61-year-old man faces murder charges after a Hungarian woman was found dead in Bolton, raising concerns in the local community.
Bolton: A tragic story has unfolded here. A man named Christopher Barlow, who’s 61, has been charged with the murder of Mariann Borocz, a Hungarian woman. She went missing earlier this month.
Her body was discovered in a house in Bolton on Christmas Eve, which is just heartbreaking. Mariann was last seen on December 14, and for nine days, there were extensive searches, including public appeals from the police in both English and Hungarian.
She was around 55 years old and spoke very little English, making her a high-risk case. The police even brought in specialist units to help find her. It’s just so sad that it ended this way.
Now, the police have confirmed that the body found is indeed Mariann’s, and they’re providing support to her family during this tough time. DCI Tony Platten from the Greater Manchester Police has expressed condolences to her family as they cope with this loss.
He mentioned that the investigation is moving quickly, and they’re working hard to piece together what happened leading up to her death. They’re also asking the community for any additional information that might help.
It’s a tough situation, and the police are grateful to everyone who has already come forward to assist with their inquiries. It’s important for the community to stay connected and support each other during times like this.
