An Ipswich road has reopened after police shut it for nearly an hour today in connection with an ongoing murder trial.
Suffolk police warned the public that Ancaster Road would closed from 11.30am for between 45 minutes to an hour as part of the trial held following the alleged murder of Dean Stansby.
At 12.25pm, Suffolk police confirmed the road had reopened.
“Police would like to thank members of the public for their patience with this,” a police spokesman added.
Local diversions were in place during the road closure.
Mr Stansby, a father-of-five from Trimley, was found fatally stabbed in Ancaster Road in February last year.
The trial got underway at Ipswich Crown Court last week.
Before the court were Jason Ruby, 45, of Risby Close, Ipswich, Tecwyn Parker, 48, formerly of Downside Close, Ipswich, Daniel Kaganda, 24, of London and Amiadul Islam, 25, of London.
All four have denied murdering Mr Stansby on February 8 last year.
