TWO teenage men from Tameside have been arrested as part of an investigation into the death of Haji Mohammed Hedayetul Islam who was hit by his own car following a robbery in Stockport.
The men, both aged 18, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to steal, following the execution of warrants in Denton and Hyde on Wednesday, January 27.
They were taken into custody for questioning.
Four teenagers have now been arrested and a 14-year-old boy charged with murder.
A second 14-year-old boy who was arrested on suspicion of murder has since been released on bail with conditions.
Just after 9pm on Friday, January 8, the 53-year-old, better known at Nowab Miah, was struck by his own car following a robbery in Romiley.
He was taken to hospital where he sadly died on Sunday, January 10.
Anyone with information is asked to get in touch with police.
Detective Chief Inspector Liam Boden, of GMP’s major incident team, said: Our investigation into this tragic case continues with great speed and we have two men in custody to be questioned about this incident which we hope will aid our enquiries further.
“We will not relent until we catch all those we believe to be responsible for the circumstances leading to Mohammed’s death and bring them to justice – this is the least that Mohammed’s family and loved ones deserve at this time.
“I continue to encourage anyone with information to get in contact with us – it is not too late to do so – and I thank all those that have assisted us with our investigation so far via phone and the online portal.”
