A 36-year-old man has been taken into custody by police regarding the double murder of Junior Ajose, 36, and Cheriff Tall, 21. The incident occurred six years ago at a private party held during the UK's COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.

While the BBC report confirms the arrest and the identities of the victims, it provides limited information regarding the specific circumstances leading to the arrest or the current status of the investigation. The case has remained a high-profile cold case in the Manchester area since the shooting took place in 2018. Law enforcement officials have not yet released details regarding the suspect's identity or the specific evidence that led to this development after six years of inactivity in the case. The arrest marks a significant shift in a long-standing investigation that previously saw few public updates.
