Hi, I am trying to find details of a trial for Manslaughter in 1978/79 in Suffolk. Suffolk Constabulary only have the briefest of details. It started at Mildenhall magistrates, but that has closed, as has Sudbury that it was subsumed into. Ipswich Crown Court does not have any records that far back, I presume Bury St Edmunds would have been transferred to Ipswich when it closed. The Crown Prosecution Service has destroyed their data three months after the trial. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can go from here ? Don Farnham

Newspapers are the most likely source They are unlikely to be online for that period though so a visit to a records office may be required Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 21-Jan-18 8:23 PM, Rudd Family wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to find details of a trial for Manslaughter in 1978/79 in > Suffolk. > > Suffolk Constabulary only have the briefest of details. > > It started at Mildenhall magistrates, but that has closed, as has > Sudbury that it was subsumed into. > > Ipswich Crown Court does not have any records that far back, I presume > Bury St Edmunds would have been transferred to Ipswich when it closed. > > The Crown Prosecution Service has destroyed their data three months > after the trial. > > Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can go from here ? > > Don Farnham
