Shame.
Three people have been arrested after a suspected burglar was stabbed to death at a home in Salford.
Reports said the killed 26-year-old man was part of a gang attempting to get into a property on Ethel Avenue in Pendlebury just before midnight on Wednesday.
The owner of the property is believed to have disturbed the group, who were wearing balaclavas, began their raid.
Locals said they understood intruders tried to break into the back door of the home, then police received a 999 call from a woman at the house.
The dead man - who has not yet been named - was apparently carried away from the house by the other gang members.
Greater Manchester Police said an investigation was in its early stages.
"Police were called to an address on Ethel Avenue following reports of a burglary and a group of men carrying an injured man on to Hospital Road," a statement said.
"On arrival at Hospital Road, police found a 26-year-old man with stab wounds. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead."
