A WEAPON that may have been used in a murder 40 years ago is being examined by police.
The body of pregnant Diane Jones was found with a fractured skull in a copse in 1983.
The prime suspect was her husband Dr Robert Jones, who was never charged and died in France two months ago after living there for years.
A Suffolk Police spokesman said his death had limited the scope of the investigation, but the team will continue to exhaust all leads.
Andy Guy, the Major Crime Review and Unsolved Case Team manager, said: “We had been making some positive progress in the case of Diane’s murder and are unearthing new information, even after all this time.
