Big breaking news this afternoon
Police have identified the human remains found in a Sutton-in-Ashfield field as a man who has been missing for 56 years. Officers made a significant break-through after a public appeal for information prompted a grandson to come forward.
Alfred worked at Langton Colliery from the age of 14 and was last seen at work on January 20, 1967. He was ‘a cutter’ known for operating a machine that cut large chunks of coal out of the coal face for others to then break down. It is believed that Alfred was drinking with his two sons and friends on the night of his disappearance. He was last seen at around 10.30pm when he gave his son some money to buy a round and then left to use the outside toilet. He never returned.
“All they know is Alfred went to the pub one evening and then never came home. We know that Alfred was murdered. We know this because it is quite obvious that whoever did this buried him in Coxmoor Road in the hope that no one would find him. “We knew the remains were male, between the ages of 40 to 60, and around 5ft 5ins tall. We now have a name. If we can understand how Alfred lived, then we can understand how he died.
