This is Stephen Akinyemi, 44, who was found shot dead on Tuesday afternoon at the home of Arran Coghlan, a converted chapel on Brook Lane.

Akinyemi was known to police, had a number of convictions and is understood to have been a founder member of the Cheetham Hill gang, who achieved notoriety in the early 1990’s.

Tributes to “Aki”, are flooding in on the social networking site Facebook where two separate webpages have been set up, an "official" one with 180 members and another which now has over 800 members.

We understand Arran Coghlan remains in custody where he is assisting the police with their enquiries regarding Stephen Akinyemi’s death.
