Man Charged with Murder Following Suspected Dognapping Incident Resulting in Fatality
In a distressing turn of events, a man has been charged with murder after a suspected dognapping incident tragically ended in the death of a cherished individual. Donald ‘Prentice’ Patience, aged 45, was discovered lifeless at a residence on Ainsworth Road in Radcliffe.
