A man accused of killing a man who was found dead under a bed in a caravan has denied manslaughter.

Charlie Greaves, 25, from Ipswich, was discovered at Suffolk Sands Holiday Park in nearby Felixstowe on 11 August.

Daniel Martin, 29, of Felix Road in the coastal town, entered his not guilty plea at Ipswich Crown Court and he is due to stand trial on 28 April.

He was originally charged with murder, before it was changed to manslaughter ahead of the plea hearing.

During an inquest hearing in August, Det Insp Mark Hughes said Mr Greaves had been taken to a family member's caravan after been injured during an altercation on the seafront near Felixstowe Pier on 10 August.

Preliminary results of the post-mortem examination suggested his death was caused by a traumatic head injury.

The inquest was adjourned until any criminal proceedings were concluded.
