This is East Midlands Today live from the scene of a fire that in the | :00:07. | :00:16. | |
early hours of this morning took the lives of four people — a mother and | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
her three children. I could see people screaming and people | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
shouting. Cooed the murder of the family be | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
linked to the death of a man just hours earlier? | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
Also the way of saving money on waste disposal. | :00:45. | :00:56. | |
And a fond farewell to hundreds of soldiers deploying to Afghanistan. | :00:56. | :01:18. | |
Good evening. Just behind me is the house that was set on fire last | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
night claiming the lives of our mother and her three children. —— | :01:24. | :01:36. | |
the lives of a mother. Add a man was fatally attacked in the street. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Police say the incidents may be linked. | :01:41. | :01:57. | |
A quiet, studious and devote family. They were killed when their home was | :01:57. | :02:08. | |
engulfed in flames last night. The door was open. The staircase was on | :02:08. | :02:25. | |
fire. They have been named locally. The husband and father of the house | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
is understood to have been working in Ireland as a neurosurgeon. | :02:31. | :02:42. | |
If life is lost as a result of an accident one can come to terms with | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
it over time, but when it is deliberate, that pain is | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
unbearable. People who knew the family well approached the media to | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
say there was no reason why anyone would wish them harm. They were very | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
nice lads and they do not know why anybody would do that to them. She | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
was very calm. She was very understanding. If you had a problem | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
and went to her she was a stress buster. | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
This lunchtime prayers were said. The father and husband is understood | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
to have taken part. Nearby police carry on searching for | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
any clues. Many believe this could be a horrific case of mistaken | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
identity. So, let's look at what happened. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Leicestershire police were called to Kent Street, around a mile from | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
here, at round 5.30 yesterday evening, where a man in his 20s was | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
found who had been fatally wounded. Seven hours later at just after half | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
past midnight this morning fire fighters were called here to Wood | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Hill where a family home was ablaze. The bodies of a mother and her three | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
teenage children were found in the upstairs rooms. At midday today, the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
police held a news conference where they confirmed they were | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
investigating the link between the murders. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
All day long flowers have been left at Kent Street, just half a mile | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
from where I'm standing, and the scene where a young man was | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
attacked. Mike O'Sullivan has spoken to a witnesses who saw the incident. | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
The aftermath of the street attack in Leicester last night. It happened | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
at 5:30pm. We understand that the 20—year—old man who died in hospital | :04:55. | :05:08. | |
full stop —— who died in hospital was a football coach. One person | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
said, he has been taken away too soon. | :05:16. | :05:29. | |
At first I thought it was a road traffic accident. It was only when I | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
spoke to some people around me that they said it was a stabbing and it | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
was quite serious. At that stage the man was alive. He was drifting in | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
and out of consciousness. The police officer was very concerned. From the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
expression on his boys I realised that this was a serious stabbing. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
The police have been at their seen all day. —— expression on his face I | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
realised that this was a serious stabbing. | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
Workers at a nearby funeral home gave their reaction. It is shocking | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
to find out is an near here. —— to find out there is an murder. It is | :06:20. | :06:32. | |
generally quiet. It is a surprise. If there is anyone who may have | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
witnessed the assault, saw anything suspicious, or may have heard | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
something of interest, please get in touch with the police. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
The police say the timing of the assault and the fire .2 links | :06:50. | :07:01. | |
between the two occurrences. # —— suggested there are links between | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
the two occurrences. This community is in shock. The | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
father has lost his daughter, his two sons, and his wife. To have gone | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
away and to do his work as a Dr and come back to find his family burned | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
to death, is a terrible shock. It is a very close—knit community. They | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
have one question. Why? Nobody knows the facts. The police are dealing | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
with this superbly. People want to let them get on and do their job. | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
People are saying could this be a revenge attack? Do you have any | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
idea? I do not. This family went to bed. There was a terrible fire. They | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
are now dead. Let us stick together as a community and support what the | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
police are doing. A terribly sad day for everybody in | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
Leicester. You will be joining us again at the end of the programme. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
Thanks, Anne. You're watching East Midlands Today. Still to come — a | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
farewell parade for the families of hundreds of departing soldiers. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
These soldiers from the Royal Anglian Regiment's second Battalion | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
will deploy to Afghanistan within weeks. A full report, later. | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
An inquest's heard that a Derbyshire woman was fearful of her former | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
partner in the week before she died. Rachel Slack, her ex—partner and | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
their young son were all found with fatal stab—wounds at a cottage in | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
Holbrook three years ago. At today's inquest Rachel's mother described | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
how Andrew Cairns had spiralled downwards into mental collapse. | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
James Roberson reports. It was at this cottage in June 2010 | :09:06. | :09:18. | |
that Rachel Slack and her former partner were both found dead with | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
multiple stab wounds. Also found dead was her son. | :09:26. | :09:53. | |
In 2008. Rachel Slack told —— the inquest also heard from the sister | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
of Andrew Cairns. She said he has lived all over the | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
world. When he moved to Derbyshire he became increasingly mentally ill. | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
By 2010 he was living in squalid conditions refusing anybody entry. | :10:11. | :10:28. | |
The witness spoke to Andrew. The hearing continues next week. | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
An 85—year—old priest who's accused of 27 sexual offences against boys | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
will go on trial in Derby next year. Francis Paul Cullen was extradited | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
from the Spanish island of Tenerife last month. Today he appeared at | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
Derby Crown Court via video link from Nottingham prison. He spoke | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
only to confirm his name. He was remanded in custody and is to go on | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
trial next March. Mr Cullen served at parishes throughout the region, | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
including Christ the King at Mackworth in Derby. | :11:02. | :11:14. | |
The first of 22 new trams built in Barcelona is now in Nottingham. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
There was a red carpet arrival for the new tram today. The Alstom | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Citadis vehicles will make their first appearance on Line One of the | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
network in June next year. That's ahead of the major expansion of two | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
new routes on the Nottingham tram network. | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
Next tonight: People who illegally dump rubbish are costing the East | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Midlands hundreds of thousands of pounds every year. Councils say fly | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
tipping is a huge problem. Nottingham City Council told us it | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
cost them more than £600,000 in the last year. Leicester City Council | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
say they dealt with more than 7,000 incidents at a cost of over | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
£250,000. Moving around other parts of the region, Mansfield spent | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
£43,000 dealing with fly tipping whereas Rutland had one of the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
lowest clean—up bills at around £7,000. In Newark the council says | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
they've cleaned up over 1,100 incidents of dumping last year — | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
forking out £56,000 to do so. I spent the morning out with their | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
teams to see what they have to deal with. | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
This is a routine call out. They are collecting furniture from our house | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
in the town. It has cost the household £20 to have it collected. | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
Their next callout is much more common. The job next is fly tipping. | :12:41. | :12:54. | |
This is what they find. A fridge and other rubbish dumped on the side of | :12:54. | :13:03. | |
the road. We will take this away now. Then onto the next one. | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
This team is called to clear rubbish that has been dumped. We hope to | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
catch these people. We need residents who see any people to let | :13:18. | :13:32. | |
us know. Charges that is not used to exist. | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
We were still fetching tonnes of fly tipping. It is ironic that people | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
will spend more on petrol finding a quiet country lane than it would for | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
Alice to collect debts. —— for the council to collect it. | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
It is not good for the environment. It looks awful. We are available to | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
take these items. There is no need for anybody to fly tip anything. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
Councils say fly tipping is devastating for the environment and | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
they will prosecute anyone who is not doing it. Pars. Bat—macro cot. | :14:26. | :14:43. | |
Supporters of a Zimbabwean grandmother who's lived in Leicester | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
for more than a decade say they fear she's about to be deported. They say | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
Evenia Mawongera was detained today when she reported to the UK Border | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
Agency's Centre in Loughborough. Since July she's reported there, | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
asking to stay with her two daughters. She fears for her safety | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
if she returns to her home country, but she's had asylum applications | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
turned down. The Home Office won't comment on her individual case. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
A charity attempt by a Derbyshire water rescue team to circumnavigate | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
Britain has ended in failure. The Watersafe UK team wanted to raise | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
£20,000 for themselves and the RNLI in the 999 Challenge, going round | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Britain in nine hours and nine minutes. But they've had to abandon | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
this attempt after their boat was damaged beyond repair. They already | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
have plans to do it all again next summer. | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
In just a few weeks time hundreds of soldiers from across the East | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
Midlands will be deploying to Afghanistan. It's likely to be our | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
region's last major deployment before all our troops are withdrawn | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
from the country. The Royal Anglian Regiment's second Battalion recruits | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
from across Leicestershire, Rutland and Lincolnshire. And today at their | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
base, Kendrew Barracks, near Oakham they were given a special send off. | :15:56. | :16:05. | |
Eleanor Garnier was there. They have been training for their | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
two to Afghanistan for months. They leave in just a few weeks. Before | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
they go, a special sendoff for the Royal Anglian Regiment 2nd | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
Battalion. Whites, partners, parents came into the regimental celebration | :16:25. | :16:34. | |
and parade. It is a happy feeling to watch them, that you are sad that | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
they are going. The Royal Anglian Regiment 2nd Battalion has been | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
training to shut down the front—line British bases. This is a two and | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
like any that has gone before. —— this is a two. Our job is to pack up | :16:53. | :17:06. | |
any British presence that is left. The mission in Afghanistan is | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
drawing to a close that pulling out is complex and dangerous. If you | :17:11. | :17:21. | |
were not scared you would be a liar. What happens happens. We have had | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
enough time now to prepare ourselves. These troops will be away | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
from their families for up to eight months. They have not even left yet | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
that everybody is looking foreword to the safe return. | :17:39. | :18:01. | |
So back to work for our Championship teams this weekend and all will be | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
looking for a return to winning ways. Forest suffered their first | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
defeat of the season before the break and tomorrow Chris Cohen will | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
lead them out against Barnsley. He is loving his new role as skipper | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
and Kirsty Edwards has been finding out just how much the captain's | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
armband means. It is a massive honour to be a | :18:22. | :18:33. | |
captain. Having the armband and walking out for the first game is | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
something I will remember for ever. He says it has not changed him. I | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
never shout and scream. I am not going to do that now. I will do the | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
things I have always done. I have to do more jobs off the pitch. More | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
interviews, things like that. Apart from having to talk to the | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
likes of me he had to get out and about representing the club and | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
visiting places like this. He came to this year home to meet a | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
lifelong fan and other keen supporters. | :19:11. | :19:22. | |
The foundations of great clubs are based on supporters. The people in | :19:22. | :19:31. | |
there have been supporting the club for 60 or 70 years. Tomorrow his | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
focus switches to matters on the pitch as they look to get back to | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
winning ways. Three Taff home games this month. —— three difficult home | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
games. We hope to keep the run going at | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
home. Well, let's get our head round the | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
other games. Our Championship clubs have all been going well. But Derby | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
have a tricky trip and Leicester have visitors fresh from the Premier | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
League. Leicester are preparing to welcome | :20:14. | :20:23. | |
would gain. There is a mood at Leicester that they can compete with | :20:23. | :20:36. | |
anyone. We have a lot of experience. Hopefully we can be right up there | :20:36. | :20:49. | |
this evening. —— this season. Derby are off to Millwall. It is a | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
guaranteed Winford Derby, surely? Football is not like that. Notts | :20:56. | :21:14. | |
County have hit the loan markets. Mansfield town welcome your. —— | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
yacht. Don't forget — all those games are | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
on your BBC Local Radio station. You won't miss a thing. | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Cricket now, and no play for Nottinghamshire at a very wet Lords | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
in the County Championship. Derbyshire did get some cricket in | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
at the County Ground — struggling to take Durham wickets though. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
And in Division Two, Leicestershire are just struggling. | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
Ice Hockey's Nottingham Panthers are in action tonight — the first of | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
three games in three days in Scotland. They go on the road trip | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
buoyed by a very good first weekend, looking every inch the team that | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
claimed three trophies last season. Dundee tonight, Fife tomorrow and | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
Edinburgh on Sunday. And Southwell jockey Hayley Turner | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
is out of hospital after a her shocker of a fall yesterday at | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Doncaster. "Battered and bruised" is the description. Turner was thrown | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
hard when her mount, Seal of Approval, clipped the heels of | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
another horse. In rugby, Nottingham get their | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
season underway this weekend with a tough trip to Leeds. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
But for the Leicester Tigers team getting your hands on a piece of | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
silverware each season has almost become the norm. But often there are | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
clear signs a player might be something a bit special long before | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
they pull on a Tigers' shirt. Angela joined one player going back to his | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
roots. He is a mountain of a man. The | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
youngest of rugby dynasty that legends of the game. | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
Back when it all started she was just a schoolboy. | :22:46. | :22:59. | |
What was he like? Brilliant.He came to the right place. No fewer than | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
three British Lions have come through the ranks. After a year of | :23:09. | :23:21. | |
being here he showed he had the power and strength. | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
He has established themselves as one of the country 's finest. The only | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
one of six brothers to play internationally for England. I | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
remember thinking my mum and dad will be very proud. Alliance, this | :23:45. | :24:00. | |
is latest achievements but he has not forgotten his roots. Late | :24:00. | :24:17. | |
tackles in those early days. Now I do not get yellow cards as often. | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
He made tower over his team—mates but it is as talent that truly | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
inspires. Here is the weather. There is | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
something for everybody this weekend. There will be lots of | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
twists and turns over the next few days. If you are looking for dry or | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
bright weather Saturday is your best bet. Windy weather on Sunday. We | :24:53. | :25:07. | |
have had some heavy and persistent rain this afternoon. It will be with | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
as this evening. It will try to clear away in the early hours of the | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
morning. It will stay on the mild side. Two morrow morning as damp and | :25:19. | :25:34. | |
justly. A decent looking afternoon on Saturday. Spells of sunshine. It | :25:34. | :25:44. | |
will feel quite called. Here is Sunday's pressure chart. This ridge | :25:44. | :25:53. | |
of pressure works South. Add drives start but the clouds will be | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
increasing. Rain will push end by mid—morning. It will try to clear | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
away as we head towards the evening. It will stay quite cool as well. We | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
stay with the blasted heath Dean next week. —— blustery. | :26:13. | :26:23. | |
Let's return now to our top story: The fire in Leicester which claimed | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
the lives of a mum and her three children. Let's go back to Anne | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
who's live at the scene. Anne. This is a very tight—knit community | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
and all the people have been out on the street is and it is not just | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
because of the television cameras. The main focus of this community | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
will be tomorrow when they say prayers for those who died. They | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
will then say prayers on Sunday also. | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
Police desperately searching for clues. | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
Investigations continue into the killing on the street. That was less | :27:16. | :27:31. | |
than one mile from here. Any updates we will bring you on our bulletin | :27:31. | :27:40. | |
tonight. Any updates we will have in our | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
latest news. Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:47. |
