Mr Stansby, 41, of Trimley St Mary, was stabbed on the evening of February 8 near Ipswich railway station.

Last week three men were due to answer their bail dates.

A 33-year-old Ipswich man and a 43-year-old, of no fixed address, arrested on suspicion of murder, have been re-bailed until September 27.

A 36-year-old Ipswich man, detained on suspicion of assisting an offender, was also re-bailed to the same date.

Three other murder suspects, a 47-year-old from Ipswich, and two men from London, aged 23 and 27, are released under investigation.

Mr Stansby, a father-of five and grandfather, died of a stab wound to the abdomen at Ipswich Hospital where he had been taken after the incident in the Ancaster Road area.
