An Ipswich couple will be sentenced in November after admitting offences of assault.

Before Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday for a plea and trial preparation hearing were Marion Ivan, 44, and Cornelia Ivan, 37, who were living in Norwich Road, Ipswich.

Marion Ivan admitted an offence of assault causing actual bodily harm which was committed on March 3 last year and Cornelia Ivan admitted assaulting the same victim by beating on the same date.

Judge Nicola Talbot-Hadley adjourned sentence until November 17 for pre-sentence reports to be prepared on the couple.
