THE INQUEST into the death of a six-year-old boy from near Sudbury is being held next week.

Alan Lock, of Cedar Walk, Acton, was found in the water of the River Stour in Sudbury after a nature trail with the Beaver Scouts turned to tragedy on June 16 last year.

Alan was taken to West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds where he was pronounced dead at 10.16pm.

The inquest is taking place next Tuesday and Wednesday at 10am at The Athenaeum in Angel Hill, Bury St Edmunds.
