We  brought you news  earlier of a High Court ruling that Suffolk Police will have to pay money back to Ipswich Town FC, after overcharging the club for match day policing.

Suffolk Police has issued a statement saying: "This is a complex judgement clarifying the time limitations and liabilities that can be applied by either party, depending on the result of the appeal by Ipswich Town Football Club against the original High Court judgement last year. 

"The appeal is scheduled to be heard on 27/28th June 2017.

"Due to the ongoing legal process, it is not appropriate for the Constabulary to comment any further at this time.”

A spokesman for Ipswich Town said: "This is part of an ongoing legal process and we will not be making any comment at this time.”

The public is being reassured by police, following the rape of a woman in Ipswich in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Det Supt Eamonn Bridger said: "It's very rare for these type of offences to happen in Suffolk.

"The level of violence used, the type of offence and the fact that total strangers to this poor young lady have attacked her in this way causes us great concern."

A 19-year-old man has been arrested and bailed, in connection with an assault in Ipswich on Saturday evening.

Police were called to Norwich Road at about 18:40 by the ambulance service, to reports that a 14-year-old boy had been assaulted. He was taken to Ipswich Hospital with superficial cuts to his face.

Shortly after the incident, a 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault but he has now been eliminated from the inquiry.

Police investigating a rape in Ipswich at the weekend say the victim, a woman in her late 20s, was "understandably distraught".

Det Supt Eamonn Bridger said: "She received hospital treatment as a result of her injuries.

"She's working with us at the moment; she's receiving the right sort of support and guidance.

"She's got an incredibly strong network around her of friends and family that are supporting her through this."

A woman who was attacked and raped in Ipswich in the early hours of Saturday morning was probably followed by her attackers, say police. 

The woman, in her late 20s, was walking along Rope Walk away from the town centre between 03:10 and 03:30.

While crossing Grimwade Street, she was approached from behind, grabbed by two men and her mouth covered.

Det Supt Eamonn Bridge said: "The victim of this offence is an innocent young lady who was on a night out with friends and was followed from the town centre for some distance to this location in Rope Walk."

Police believe after the attack took place, the men made off back towards the town centre.

Police say a woman, attacked in Ipswich in the early hours of Saturday morning, was raped. 

They have also released CCTV pictures of two men that they would like to trace.

The man, who says he is Vital Dapi, says he has an eagle on his left shoulder, but that it is has one head, unlike the double-headed eagle on the Albanian flag. 

On his right shoulder is a picture of a lion. 

Max Hill, his defence counsel, asked if he had any bullet wounds or scars, and he said he did not. 

He also said he would be prepared to show his tattoos and lack of scars to the court, but he has not been asked to do so yet.

The defendant says he travelled to Greece from Albania in January 2016 and described looking for work by going to Omonia Square in Athens in the hope of getting hired. 

He says he planned to travel to Luxembourg in May last year.

The defendant has told Ipswich Crown Court that on 4 June he left Athens by road having paid 300 Euro to get to Luxembourg in a caravan. 

Peter and Sylvia Stuart, who were last seen in Pulham Market on 29 May, were reported missing from their home in Weybread on 3 June and Mr Stuart's body was found that evening. 

The defendant, who the prosecution says lived in Tilbury, says he arrived in Luxembourg on 6 June having travelled via Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Austria and Germany. 

He separated from his fellow travellers in Luxembourg City. 

He said he had had to leave his passport with the people who arranged his travel and did not have it any more.

"I decided my best chance of survival was to act dead," said a statement from Mrs Heathcote, who survived five gunshot wounds.

"At the first opportunity I was asking Phil if he was all right. There was no response from Phil and I realised he had not made it."

Manchester United fan Mr Heathcote, 52, died in the attack and Mrs Heathcote, 50, was in an induced coma for a month after the incident.

The couple, who have one son, now 27, were in Tunisia to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.

"Stuart loved life, his family and friends."
