Michael Burke: Danczuk Critic Charged

NORTHERN Voices, having today approached the Greater Manchester Police Press Office about the recent arrest of Michael Burke, the brother of Karen Danczuk the wife of the Rochdale MP, Simon Danczuk, received the following responses: 
'Michael Burke (03/09/1978) of College Bank, Rochdale has been charged with breach of bail. He appeared at Bury Magistrates Court on 6 January 2016 where he was released with further bail conditions. 
'Shortly before 1pm on Monday 4 January 2016, police in Rochdale received a report that a man had been intimidated by a number of people following an incident in Rochdale town centre earlier that day.'   
The GMP Press Office also reported below that a 37-year-old man believed to be Michael Burke, had been arrested together with a man aged 34-year-old on 'suspicion of witness intimidation':
'A 37-year-old man and a 34-year-old man who were arrested on suspicion of witness intimidation have been bailed until 2 February 2016.
'
Shortly before 1pm on Monday 4 January 2016, police in Rochdale received a report that a man had been intimidated by a number of people following an incident in Rochdale town centre earlier that day.'
  
The police point out that no-one has yet been charged with 'witness intimidation', and that an investigation into this is continuing.  
Last Monday morning, it seems Mr. Burke and the other man had participated in a well publicized protest outside the Rochdale Labour Party office of Simon Danczuk following strange revelations in the media about the MP's private life, which has shocked some of the MP's constituents.
