The ex-boyfriend of a 25-year-old mother who was "brutally murdered" in her home is being hunted by police.
Detectives in Salford said Michael Cope, 28, was their main suspect in the death of Linzi Ashton and have warned locals against "harbouring" him.
Bar worker Ms Ashton suffered "obvious face and head injuries" in the attack and her body was found in the early hours of Saturday by relatives, police said.
It is understood her daughters Destiny, seven, and Daisy, two, were not at home in Westbourne Road, Winton, at the time.
The couple had an "acrimonious" relationship, police said, and officers had been called to the address in the past. Because of this, the case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Ms Ashton's children were not at home at the time of the attack A post-mortem examination on Ms Ashton's body was taking place on Sunday. Neighbours have laid flowers close to the scene as police continue to look for clues.
Detective Chief Superintendent Darren Shenton said: "I have named Michael Cope as I believe he is responsible for Linzi's death.
"Linzi and Michael Cope have been in a relationship and that relationship has been acrimonious and the subject of reports to police.
"A young woman has been brutally murdered and our thoughts are with her family and friends at what is obviously a totally devastating time for them.
"I will take a dim view of anybody who provides assistance to Cope knowing that he is being sought by Greater Manchester Police."
