The Biffa lorry blunder
Corrie was seen on CCTV eating some takeaway food at 1.20am before falling asleep in a doorway for two hours.
He then woke up and staggered 110 yards to the back of an industrial “horseshoe” area at 3.25am and was never seen again.
It is believed he most likely crawled into a large recycling bin before being tragically crushed to death when a Biffa truck collected the cargo 50 minutes later and dropped the contents to a trading depot. Early on in the investigation, a false reading of the load of the bin was given. The contents were recorded as weighing 11kilos, or 1st 10lbs, when it was actually 116 kilos, or 15st 7lbs – a difference of nearly 14st. The false reading led police initially to discount the theory that Corrie was in the bin before the company came forward to correct the error. An independent report has agreed with Suffolk police’s conclusion that Corrie’s remains lie in the landfill site where the rubbish load on the Biffa lorry was taken.
