A mother-of-two who was found "brutally murdered" at her home had reported her former partner for a "serious sexual offence", police have said.
Linzi Ashton's body was found on Saturday evening at the house in Westbourne Road in Winton, Salford.
Greater Manchester Police said the 25-year-old had reported Michael Cope, 28, in April. She also made an allegation of assault against him in May.
Mr Cope is wanted by police in connection with Ms Ashton's death.
The Greater Manchester force has referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission because of the reports it received about the couple.
Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney said the force would "rightly come under enhanced scrutiny" because of the reports.
Ms Ashton, whose body was found by a relative, had daughters aged seven and two.
A Home Office post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death has yet to take place.
Det Ch Supt Darren Shenton said Ms Ashton had been "brutally murdered" and that she had visible injuries to her head and face.
He said that he believed Mr Cope was in Salford and that police would take a "particularly dim view of anyone who provides assistance" to him.
