Officers still ‘under threat’ after deaths of policewomen

Officers remain under threat after the deaths of two policewomen in a grenade and gun attack, Peter Fahy, the chief constable of Greater Manchester Police warned last night.

Fahy said he could not be sure all the explosive devices had been recovered from the area where PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone were attacked on Tuesday.

Two men have been arrested and are being questioned over their deaths — Dale Cregan, 29, who was one of the country’s most wanted men, and a 28-year-old.
