I do. I was only 7 at the time, and we had recently moved to Ipswich.
It was quite a big thing in those days, and my dad at the time worked for Eastern Electricity at Wherstead which is on the way to Tattingstone. [Post edited 23 Aug 2023 12:44]

Anyone here remember there’s a “General” forum page?
That was harsh - apologies. The tattingstone case is actually a pretty interesting one. Wonder if there’s ever been a Tv documentary about it? Probably too old a case I’d imagine.
Or…. Is this a very cryptic player transfer link?! |  | | |

Yes I remember it. Dismembered body which I’m sure was suggested to be a homophobic killing ( this may have been suggested later) …. Was quite a shocking piece of news at them time. |  |

Moved (unless the OP knows of a football aspect to the murder, of course). |  | | |

interesting link. the line: "Police in the Oliver investigation announced their intent to interview all of the homosexual men in London." does suggest that policing has become a little more sophisticated over the past 50+ years. |  |

The story of boys being supplied by Ronnie to Establishment figures has been around a while, Boothby etc, get the goods on them for exploitation/favours later. It was deemed a big move at the time for the undertakers to be asked to make up the severed head , the photograph of which was then published for ID purposes. That would still be a bold move now! | | | |

If there isn't, it might not be long before there is/are. Real-life crime docus, both solved & unsolved, have been getting big viewing figures recently & seem to be growing in popularity. |  |

"The murder of Bernard Oliver forms part of the background to the 1998 novel The Long Firm, by Jake Arnott. "
Blimey - I've read that novel and I must have missed that part completely! |  |

I just re read it, it’s a superb book, and it deals with the Tattingstone suitcase murder albeit later in the book, having set the scene. His other novels in the trilogy are worth reading too. I think the Krays link comes from their Suffolk property which was IIRC in Bildeston. |  | | |

Never heard of it but just read this from wiki...
"The case received widespread media attention, partly because police, unable to identify the body, took the unusual step of releasing a photograph of the victim's head to the media."
WTF |  |

I'd have thought it was a straightforward open-and-shut case. |  |

At the time I had just started A levels at the Civic College and used to hitchhike from and to Saxmundham each weekend. I recall being quite nervous with some lifts until I paired up with a friend and we hitched together. Not so easy to get lifts but I remember feeling safer! |  | | |
