A man who died in his house after suffering serious head injuries in a shocking attack has been described as being a ‘devoted family man’ who will be ‘dearly missed’. Nadeem Butt, 50, was found dead inside his home on Woodlands Street in Cheetham Hill on August 5, 2020.
Detectives initially launched a murder investigation after he was found with injuries following a ‘serious assault’. Nobody has ever been brought to justice or faced a criminal charge relating to his death, however.
At an inquest held at Manchester Coroner’s Court on Monday (June 5), area coroner Zak Golombeck heard a forensic post-mortem report suggested Mr Butt had sustained his injuries on July 30 - six days before his body was found.

Dr Lumb said that Mr Butt had sustained serious head injuries and ‘may have survived for a period of time - several hours - after he sustained the injuries’. The report said that Mr Butt’s injuries ‘were caused during the course of a sustained physical assault using blunt or sharp force’.
The inquest heard that Greater Manchester Police had identified three suspects who were initially interviewed under caution in relation to Mr Butt’s death. However, the police investigation later concluded that there was ‘insufficient evidence to suggest that the three suspects, or any others, were involved in the fatal injuries’.
Detective Chief Inspector Liam Boden, of GMP, said a ‘working hypothesis’ from the investigation was that Mr Butt had been assaulted at his home address by ‘unknown persons that caused or contributed to his death’.
The police investigation concluded that there had been ‘third-party involvement’ in Mr Butt’s death but no charges were
