THE killers of a father of three, who was gunned down at a local drugs den, are still being hunted today.

Detectives are continuing their inquiries into the death of Rupert Satchell, who was shot at a house in Goldfinch Drive, Bury, last Thursday.

Two men are believed to have burst into the property, known by police and local residents as a drugs haven, and opened fire on the 42-year-old.

A post mortem examination was carried out on Friday which confirmed Mr Satchell had died from a gunshot wound to his chest.

Police sealed off the house and surrounding streets as forensic experts searched the property for evidence and detectives launched a massive manhunt to find the killers.

Det Insp Jane Antrobus said today: "We have a large team of detectives from Bury working on the murder."

Anyone with information should contact the incident room on 856 8336 or call Crimestoppers free on 0800 555 111.
