Robert Bush, a Hull-based funeral director, was sentenced at Hull Crown Court after pleading guilty to 30 counts of preventing lawful burials. Distressing evidence emerged regarding his handling of deceased individuals, including a stillborn baby found unburied in an envelope after nearly two years.

A Suffolk coroner has ruled that the unidentified “Croft Man” died from a violent assault. Found in the River Stour in 2020, radiocarbon dating indicates he was born before the 1950s and died between 2008 and 2012. Authorities have yet to establish his identity.
