A man accused of murdering 22-year-old Joe Pooley whose body was found in the River Gipping has denied telling a friend that he and one of his co-defendants had “put Joe in the river.”
Giving evidence during his trial at Ipswich Crown Court Sebastian Smith said that Rebecca Crosfield had been interviewed by police several months after Mr Pooley’s death at a time when a lot of people had been talking about Mr Pooley’s death.
“Maybe she lied or made an honest mistake", said Smith.
