Jalal Uddin: Rochdale Koran reader death suspects bailed
Three men who were being questioned in connection with the death of a prominent Koran reader have been bailed pending further police inquiries.
Jalal Uddin, 64, died in hospital after being found with a serious head injury in Rochdale in February.
On Thursday, a 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and a 24-year-old man was held over alleged terrorism funding.
A third man, 21, was also bailed after being re-arrested.
He had previously been questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
Mr Uddin was found in South Street in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, a few streets away from the Jalalia Jaamé Mosque, where it is understood he was a qari, or Koran reader.
A 31-year-old man arrested in February on suspicion of murder has been released without charge and eliminated from inquiries and a 17-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed until 1 June.
Mohammed Syeedy, 26, of Ramsey Street, Rochdale, has been charged with murder and is due to appear at Manchester Crown Court on 22 August.
