A jury at Luton Crown Court failed today (Tuesday) to reach verdicts in the case of a father and his three sons, accused of keeping vulnerable men captive at their travellers site and forcing them to work.
The prosecution are now deciding whether to seek a re-trial in the case of Tommy Connors Snr, 53, and his sons Tommy Connors Jnr, 27, James Connors, 25, and Patrick Connors, 21.
The four had faced charges of conspiring to hold a person in servitude and conspiring to require a person to perform forced or compulsory labour at the Green Acres Caravan Park at Little Billington, near Leighton Buzzard.
