Five men have been jailed in Suffolk for offences including manslaughter, sexual assault and drug dealing, with sentences ranging from 16 months to six-and-a-half years.

Five men have been jailed in Suffolk this week for offences committed across Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, including manslaughter, sexual assault and drug dealing.

Andrew Allen, 55, of Severn Road, Bury St Edmunds, was jailed for four years after being convicted of the manslaughter of Scott Lisney, 56. The court heard that Lisney suffered fatal head injuries after Allen punched him once outside the Spar shop at St Olaves Precinct on 26 July 2025. Allen maintained he acted in self-defence, but the judge said there was 'no evidence of self-defence'.

Peter Eason, 66, was jailed for six-and-a-half years after sexually assaulting a Suffolk schoolgirl. The court heard Eason had abused the girl and 'stole her childhood', with the sentencing judge describing him as 'selfish'. He denied all charges but was found guilty after trial.

Bailey Warth, 21, from Ipswich, was sentenced to 50 months in prison for a series of violent assaults on two former partners, including slapping, strangling and kicking one woman in the face. He was also banned from driving for 37 months and from contacting the victims for five years. Mihai Mihai, from Bury St Edmunds, was jailed for two years after being caught with cocaine while riding a bicycle during a police stop.
