A rare sword, which has been used by the Gurkhas since medieval times, will go on display at Manchester’s museum after being handed into police.

The sword, which is known as a Kukri, was dropped off at Wythenshawe police station by a local resident.

Malcolm Chittim bought the sword as a reminder of the time he spent in the Army. He no longer wanted the sword inside his house but was worried about it getting into the wrong hands.
