Wanted man Michael Cope has been arrested in Manchester on suspicion of murdering his ex-girlfriend Linzi Ashton.
A statement released by Greater Manchester Police, said: "A man has been arrested following the death of Linzi Ashton, who was killed last month in Salford.
"At about 11.55pm on Friday 26 July 2013, police were called to an address on Larch Road in Leigh following a report a wanted man was at the address.
"Armed officers attended and a 28-year-old man handed himself in to police and was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in police custody for questioning".
Police released this CCTV image of Cope at a supermarket It is believed Cope contacted police himself to hand himself in after nearly a month on the run.
Linzi, a mother-of-two, was found dead at her home on Westbourne Road, Winton by relatives shortly before 6pm on Saturday 29 June 2013.
Ms Ashton made separate complaints to Greater Manchester Police in April and May that Cope had raped and beaten her.
A Home Office post mortem concluded she died as a result of pressure to the neck and multiple injuries.
Cope had a brief "acrimonious" relationship with Miss Ashton, 25, who had two daughters, Destiny, seven, and Daisy, two.
As part of the manhunt, police searched more than 30 addresses and two men have been charged, one with perverting the course of justice and the other with assisting an offender.
Cope, who is from Salford, had been known to make visits in and around the town centre of Leigh.
