So he has not been charged with anything yet? This looks to me as if the police are still trying to find out what happened. The court appearance could just be to attend as a witness, possibly there is another person who is charged with this and your husband is needed for elimination. If your husband was 'in the frame' for this he would have been charged by now, the police only say 'they have enough evidence to summon him to court' , not that they have enough to charge him with it. Tell him just to get a solicitor and tell him / her what is happening.
Amy, reading between the lines, it appears from your post that fairly recent fingerprint samples have been taken or provided by your partner for whatever reason and that sample has been matched to a historic undetected offence where scientific evidence was recovered at the time.
If the weight of the evidence is solely a fingerprint match then the main issue here is where at the scene was the fingerprint recovered from and did your partner has lawful access to that particular area in the house.
It maybe that the victims stated to police that no person had any lawful access to the house at or about the time of the offence and no such workers had ever been there. If your partner has told the police that he could have been at the premises lawfully through work then this line of inquiry should have been followed up. Has your partner made any contact with previous employers?.

Yes correct the crime was in 2005 and has only jus bin Brought to my husnands notice. He knows nothing about a burglary and has definitely not committed the crime. He hasnt been charged with the burglary. He was called a few month ago by police askin him to interview. He told them he knew nothing of a burglary n that in 2005 was either working at home improvement company or garage doors company etc. Police were satisfied at interview that his answers were gud enough
But 2 days ago had a call saying he is being summoned to court. Does this make sense. Ve

Well, if you're summoned to court, you go to court. You say he's not being charged with the crime, so what's the panic?
To those in the know: Is it abnormal for witnesses to be -summonsed- to court. Why is a simple written request not sufficient? Is it commonplace that witnesses just don't bother to show up?

hypognosis, Amy's partner has been accused of a criminal offence and being prosecuted (sent to court). Because he wasn't arrested for the offence he is being ordered to attend court by way of a summons. If a person was arrested then informed they will be prosecuted the term 'charge' is used. (charge and summons is basically the same thing).
A summons can also used for witness attendance in certain circumstances.

Bit what if thats what there tying to do. Summon him to court then arrest him? I dunno how it all works and what the process is to be honest and thats why im panicking. We have 3 children and jus literally hav bought a house and if gets charged he'll hav a criminal record foe something he neva done!
Hey Amy, who has stated the police intend to arrest your partner now that he has been summonsed?. Also, there is mention on this thread of new evidence since coming to light, who has told you this?.
So far from your brief description, the police procedure is all above board, but can you confirm with your partner whether the police took an evidential set of fingerprints for comparison at the voluntary attendance at the station.
(I will be a bit later, if I can help etc)

his company will have records of all places they attended in the line of their work, and when - when the get the address they can check with the records
if that is how they got there then the evidence will be in the book
i would also imagine the building itself will have some kind of evidence of when the locks were changed - an invoice for that or for more keys to be cut

Thanks for clarifying that, OrderLimit.
It's just a shame that the Police letter was so badly written that their intentions are unclear and they're putting amy through hours of unnecessary anxiety.
How hard is it to write, in plain English, that he's only required to present a witness statement in court?

He's only explaining himself as he has nothing to hide. He told them clearly the line of work he does. Apparently the police were comin last nite but didn't and are now meant to be coming tonight! Its all been through telephone calls so far and jus the one interview! Still confused myself to be honest! ?! :( bit appreciate all your help and answers
