Tymal Mills is heading to Australia to play in the Big Bash League.

A man who was living in Tattingstone at the time the dissected body of teenager Bernard Oliver was found in two suitcases says he doesn't think the case will ever be solved.

David Brown said: "I think now after 50 years, anybody only needed to be in the 25-30 age group they've either died or are now very old. I don't expect there'll be any arrests now. It's too late."

On its "cold cases, external" website, Suffolk Police says: "At various stages over the years snippets of information have been presented to the police but as yet none have been able to produce any positive leads."

A Tattingstone resident says the discovery of the dismembered body of teenager Bernard Oliver in January 1967 was "a shock to all of us", and that "obviously it was horrific at the time for his relatives".

David Brown added: "Fifty years on there aren't many original Tattingstone people left in the village. 

"Things have moved on and a lot of the original villagers have now passed away."

Bernard Oliver was identified as the victim of the 1967 murder when police released a photograph of his severed head.

His family came forward after seeing it published in a newspaper.

Although police said they'd been contacted by a man with new information in 2012, the case, which has been described as one of the most brutal ever investigated in the county, remains unsolved.

They've said in the past they believed the murder was carried out by someone with expert knowledge, because of the way the body was cut up.

No-one has been charged over the inquiry, although two doctors, who died some time ago, were prime suspects.

Ed Sheeran is co-presenting the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show this morning and has been speaking about his year out of the limelight.

In December 2015 the singer announced he would be taking a year away from social media to focus on his third album and to stop seeing the world "through a screen".

This morning he revealed some of the things he's been up to, including:

• white water rafting in Fiji
• bungee jumping in Queenstown, New Zealand
• being strapped to the front of an airborne fighter plane owned by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson
• putting his foot in a geyser in Iceland, destroying his boot  
• swimming with bull sharks

"I wanted to go travelling properly, do a proper gap year," he said.

Ed Sheeran has endeared himself to us even more, by telling the Radio 1 Breakfast Show that "Castle on the Hill", one of two singles he's released today, is a "love song for Suffolk".

The former Thomas Mills High School pupil continued: "I don't think anyone has ever done that.

"I've shot the music video actually in Suffolk and the cast of it are people from my high school.

"The main guy who looks just like me is weirdly from my sixth form."

Five years ago, Tony Oliver spoke publicly for the first time about his brother's death in 1967.

Tony Oliver said: "I can't bury it. I don't think I ever go a week without thinking about Bernard."

Mr Oliver, who shared a bedroom with his brother in Muswell Hill, added: "When his body was found I was just hollow.

"I just kept asking myself, 'why?' What was the motive? Why Tattingstone? Suffolk felt a million miles away in those days." 

Post-mortem tests showed Bernard died from strangulation before being cut up. He was also sexually assaulted.

The unsolved murder of teenager Bernard Oliver, who disappeared on this day 50 years ago, is one of several listed as "cold cases, external" by Suffolk Police.

The case, which became known as Operation Tattingstone, concerns 17-year-old Bernard Oliver, who lived in Muswell Hill, London, with his father and five siblings.

On 6 January, 1967, he went out to spend the evening with friends, but failed to return. 

The following morning he was reported missing by his father.

His dissected body was found in two suitcases in a field in Tattingstone, near Ipswich, 10 days later, and a major murder investigation was launched, with the assistance of the Metropolitan Police.

Senior officers were still collating information and following up new leads into 1968, but no-one has been brought to justice for the murder.

It's 50 years to the day since a teenager left his Muswell Hill home to spend the evening with friends and failed to return.

Ten days later, the dissected body of Bernard Oliver was found in two suitcases in Tattingstone near Ipswich.

We'll be reviewing what's known about the crime, and hearing from a resident who remembers the events of 1967.

We'll also get the latest on Ed Sheeran's "love song for the county".

But we'll begin with a look at the day's weather prospects.

RAF serviceman Corrie Mckeague has been missing for three months, but how did he disappear from a Suffolk market town?

We're signing off for the evening, but we'll be back from 08:00 tomorrow.

Here's a quick reminder of some of the stories we've been looking at during the day:

• Ipswich Post Office will be leaving its current premises in Sailmakers in March
• Planning permission has been granted for more than 1,200 homes on land between the A14 and A134 in Bury St Edmunds 
• The "Find Corrie" campaign has hired a team of specialist investigators to try to find the missing airman
• Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy vows to field a strong team for the club's FA Cup fixture against Lincoln City on Saturday 

Have a great evening - we look forward to your company again in the morning.

A team of specialists are hired to assist with the search of a serviceman who has been missing for more than three months.

A second man has been charged in connection with the rape of a young woman in Lowestoft in December.

The 22-year-old, from Bungay, who is on conditional bail, will appear at Ipswich Crown Court on 13 January.

The alleged rape took place in the early hours of 11 December, when a young woman told police she had been on a night out and left the seafront area of the town in the company of two men.

They walked through the town to the Britten Centre, where the alleged assault took place.

A 24-year-old man from Lowestoft, who was arrested on 15 December, is also due at Ipswich Crown court on 13 January.

The chief executive of Ipswich Hospital says there needs to be closer working within the NHS to get through times when there is increased demand, as is currently being reported by GPs, and some of our hospitals.  

Nick Hulme said: "We just about have got through the last few days without any major or quality issues.

"I think unless we do that [introduce closer ways of working] and we do it urgently, what we look forward to for the rest of this winter and indeed into next year would really worry me in terms of our ability to manage."

A man from Bury St Edmunds has been describing how he was shot in the chest at close range.

Jonathan Catchpole was giving evidence at the trial of his former partner Rebecca Deferia, 30, of Carnation Way, Red Lodge, who is accused of conspiring to murder him.

He told Ipswich Crown Court how he was shot at close range by hired hitmen at his flat near Bury St Edmunds railway station in August 2015.

He said he heard a loud bang from the gun, and looked down to see blood coming from his chest.

Last year five men were jailed for their part in the plan to shoot Mr Catchpole.

Ms Deferia denies the charge and the trial is continuing.

Unions representing workers at decommissioned nuclear power stations in Essex and Suffolk are to discuss calling for a strike ballot in a row over pensions.

The unions - the GMB, external, Unite, external and Prospect, external - said workers at 19 sites, including Bradwell (pictured above), in Bradwell-on-Sea, and Sizewell A, near Leiston, faced cuts under plans by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, external to make savings of £660m. 

The unions said the government's expectation is that the final salary pension schemes in place across the NDA estate will be reformed by April 2018.

Justin Bowden, GMB national officer, said: "There is no justification for this attack on the pensions of these nuclear workers and their communities.

"These pension funds are in a sound state and underwent considerable reform 10 years ago."

A Nuclear Decommissioning Authority spokesman said four million public sector workers had already moved to new pension arrangements but that specific decisions on how to change the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's estate pension schemes had yet to be taken. 

The unions will meet next Monday.
