TWO people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the remains of four people were discovered at a mill in Oldham.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police's Major Incident Team carried out warrants this morning and detained two suspects.
They have been arrested for manslaughter, as well as on suspicion of drugs and organised crime offences.
Both suspects remain in police custody to be quizzed by detectives.
It comes after the remains of four separate victims were found at the scene, following a devastating blaze at the mill in May.
Partial human remains have been identified, through fingerprint analysis, as belonging to Uoc Van Nguyen from northern Vietnam.
