This in a sale any test bet` two cyclists who may have seen the

colour. It has emerged that a Suffolk MP has

been cautioned for common assault. Thousands will not to the Tour de

France in a fortnight but whll they be able to use their smartphones?

The answer could be any new free Wi`Fi system and lamp posts.

And it is a tough job. The World Cup volunteer living the life in real.

First tonight, an appeal to find two cyclists who might have crucial

information about the murder of a student in Colchester.

Nahid Almanea was found on a footpath near the Univdrsity

afternoon, the police announced they want to speak to a man and ` woman

who were cycling along the track just minutes after the attack.

They're also keen to speak to two men seen separately in the `rea

Tomorrow marks a week since the brutal killing of Nahid Alm`nea 150

police officers are involved in this murder investigation and a further

150 officers have been drafted in on patrol to try to reassure the local

community. Whenever you look, there are police. Standing guard,

collecting evidence. The qudstion is dead the colour also killed James

Attfield in Colchester nearly three months earlier? You still don't have

a suspect. Offences of this type often take time and effort. I am

certain they have determination to find the killer or killers

responsible. They will not rest until they find who is responsible

and bring them to justice. @way from the murder scene, people ard on

edge. It is quite scary bec`use this used to be a nice place but when you

hear stories about murder it makes you move anyway. `` in a wax. Have

you changed the way you beh`ve? No one takes short cuts now. You don't

go down alleyways even if you don't go down alleyways even if you're

what people. `` you are with people. Things are quieter. People don't

walk around like they used to. Our people stealing and? Yes. Pdople are

stealing in. `` stay. A wom`n was attacked last week. I think she

managed to get away but we have had two murders and multiple st`bbings.

The police don't want to spdak to four people. Nahid Almanea's body

was found at the Brooke last Tuesday. A man with thick, short

black hair in his jeans werd seen in the area. He was wearing an Italian

style jacket. Then two cyclhsts in their 20s, a man and a woman, were

seen. Then a man wearing a red hooded top and black trousers were

seen. Nahid Almanea's body has been flown back to Saudi Arabia. Several

thousand people attended her funeral. Some 3000 miles aw`y in

Colchester, the painstaking search for clues to her murder continues.

One of the keys is finding the weapon and there remains a huge area

for the police to comb. The surge in the leaks could take up to five days

more. `` the search. Detective Superintendent Stdve

Worron is the man leading The two murders are part of the

National crime agency. The two investigations remain separ`te. As

new information comes to light, we can review it, but there is no

evidence to indicate that there is a clear link between them. Thd benefit

is that although they are sdparate investigations in parallel, it means

that both investigating offhcers can see each other's enquiry and make

sure relevance is drawn across. You are really building a profile of the

killer. What kind of person do you think you're looking for? Wd have a

number of considerations. The most important thing for everybody to

bear in mind is that we are open minded. We can establish no clear

motive for the murder of Nahid Almanea or why anyone would bear a

grudge against her. Given that the place she was killed is close to

houses, do you find it extr`ordinary that there have not been more useful

sightings? We have had a re`lly good response from the public today but I

think there is more they can do to help us. I think with the community,

we can solve the two murders. Following last Tuesday, is `nybody

aware of anybody they know within the community whose behaviotr has

changed? Who has discarded clothing or an item they would normally

carry? If so, please speak to us. There is still deep concern in the

community. We also heard from people who are worried about street lights

being turned off at night. What more can be done to reassure people? The

message for the people of Colchester is to be vigilant. Take precautions.

We are committed to ensuring your safety. There will be more police

officers on the street. We `re working with the council regarding

street lighting and they have been turned on. That is providing

reassurance in this difficult time. A mass area is still blocked off

because of the investigation. Have you made any real progress? We

continue to make progress. Latters like this often take time and I ask

the public to bear with us. The areas that are cordoned off need to

be cordoned off where the sdarch is completed and forensic examhnation

is carried out. We will continue to search those areas. Thank you.

And a reminder that, if you have any information,

you can call the police on the incident room number 01245 2821 3.

It's emerged that the MP for Bury St Edmunds, David Ruffley,

has been cautioned by the police after being arrested

It follows an incident at his home in London.

Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is here.

This happened back in March but details have only just emerged.

Scotland Yard has confirmed that on Saturday night, they went to a block

of flats near Westminster where David Ruffley has a home. They

arrested a 52`year`old man on suspicion of common assault. He was

taken to a police station and accepted a caution. We understand

this man was David Ruffley, MP for Bury St Edmunds for the last 17

years. We can't confirm who he assaulted. All the police whll see

is that it was a domestic incident. He hasn't said anything so far. He

was in the House of Commons this afternoon but has not returned

calls. He has not spoken to us or any other media. Conservative Party

headquarters are saying that the police investigated the matter and

they are convinced that is the end of it. One person who knows a bit

about it thought it was a storm in a teacup, but I get the feeling that

everyone wants the story to go away. It doesn't look good, does ht? An MP

being cautioned. Now, espechally when here's a solicitor and used to

be spokesman on the police. MPs are not being shown any good light.

Michael fabricant tweeted that he wanted to punch a woman journalist.

One apologised for sexually assaulting a constituent. And the

Labour MP got drunk in the House of Commons and punched staff. David

roughly gave a speech years ago about the unique pressures faced by

MP Womack and said that manx companies have proper human resource

teams. He said the trouble with parliament is that they havd nothing

like that and perhaps it should have something like that.

The Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk is

taking over the day`to`day duties of the official PCC Stephen Bett.

Mr Bett 'stood aside? last week after an announcement

of a police investigation into his expense claims.

Today, his office said he will continue to be paid.

Stephen Bennett was elected an independent PCC in 2012 on ` salary

of ?17,000 per year. He firlly believes the investigation hnto his

expenses will clear him of `ny wrongdoing. He claimed for trips to

home and the commissioners office. This afternoon, following d`ys of

confusion, it was announced that the Deputy Commissioner would t`ke over

his duties with immediate effect. She campaigned alongside Stdphen

Bett who made it clear that he would appoint his deputy. I won't be a

back`seat driver. He has taken this step to preserve integrity protect

our reputation. As such, it is important that he steps back. He

certainly won't be a back`sdat driver. Some people might bd

surprised that Stephen Bett will continue to have his full p`y. The

legislation provides for hil to be paid, especially if they have not

been found guilty of an offdnce There is plenty of legal guhdance on

the issue but it is a personal decision for the PCC at the end of

the day. So he could declind a salary? Theoretically, but that is a

personal decision and not one that I have an opinion on. The polhce face

financial pressures at the loment. You are going to have a difficult

time. It is a challenging thme and we will set out tomorrow how we will

make savings by 2018. It is a tough time but we feel we have a strong

plan in place. We have a cldar sense of focus and we are reassurdd by the

plans that the chief constable has two deliverables savings. Tonight,

his office stressed that Stdphen Bett has not been suspended. He

continues to hold the posithon of PCC.

The ex`girlfriend of a convicted murderer has been

released from prison nine wdeks into a nine`month sentence.

19`year`old Shannon Fenlon from Clacton was jailed for pervdrting

the course of justice in thd Jay Whiston murder investig`tion.

The 17`year`old was stabbed by Fenlon's ex`boyfriend

Edward Redman at a house party in Colchester two years ago.

Four members of staff at Colchester Hospital have bedn put

But we know how jammed mobile networks get at crowded events

Well, there is a new free Wh`Fi network for Cambridge

and it is cleverly hidden away at the top of lampposts like this one.

Now officially launched, it is promising faster speeds

Part of the rollout is deploying the latest wireless standards and

that will give each individtal user up to 300 megabytes per second.

That is the equivalent of about 100 times but domestic broadband.

What is this costing and who's paying?

It is funded by the Univershty of Cambridge exclusively.

The transmitters have been placed along the route

This is what is on top of the lamppost.

It uses a Wi`Fi network called The Cloud.

It is free, but you have to register.

If this 12`month trial goes well, it could be extended

but they are not promising free public Wi`Fi for the whole county.

It's really about getting connectivity across the county.

In some cases, that will be fixed Internet, in some cases it?s mobile,

Those behind the scheme say that 50,000 people have already tsed it.

It is much calmer here with more space and more staff.

Dennis was admitted with breathing problems.

He is being treated for that but is also having physiothdrapy.

The ward has its own specialist team providing a wide range of sdrvices.

I can be lying in bed for X period of time and then they can gdt you on

There is another advantage of having a specialist team on the ward.

They also assess other physhcal psychological and social nedds.

So England are out of the World Cup and the football pundits have spent

the weekend discussing wherd it all went wrong.

But amazing as it may seem, the World Cup is still going on

Fans, volunteers and TV professionals

from our region are still there and World Cup Mike has been finding

Belgium's late winner against Russia in the real last night. Voltnteers

are there from King's Lynn. It was a really good game. It was nice to

have European fans there. L`te goal was amazing. It was a reallx nice

atmosphere, great to work at. And here are some crazy Belgian fans

doing after the game, filmed by Claire on her phone. For England

fans, this is what might have been. The game last night also had

cameramen and a from Suffolk. Southend fan Dave centres this

selfie from the England and Uruguay game. The plumber from Northampton,

John, is loving it in Brazil. He has been at the Holland and Chile game

today and was impressed by the friendliness of the South Alerican

fans. They are really passionate fans. We chatted to a few of them

with sign language and they are really friendly people. John is

trying to get his flag on the television. It hasn't been dasy to

see on the cameras in Brazil but it has been flown at the copper cabana

Beach. The bar staff decided they wanted to put our flag on a pole. So

we thought, what the hell, let them do it! It was a giggle. John is

travelling with friends and MK Dons supporters. If England's defeat

wasn't bad enough, we have had a dose of Brazil. They are having a

fantastic time over there. Fantastic weather at the wedkend.

Ideal weather for throwing xourself out of an aeroplane.

I got a great view from 13,000 feet yesterday for my charity skxdive! It

was beautiful yesterday. People like Northampton reached 75

Fahrenheit yesterday. Today, showers and there has been a fair fdw of

them. Showers developing and moving in in bands and lines. Some have

been heavy and thundery with some impressive lightning. This will

continue south`east over thd next few hours. There is still the

potential for torrential downpours. By the second`half of the nhght

everywhere should be largelx dry with clear spells and patchx missed.

Not a cold night with temperatures nor low than 11 or 12 Celsits. We're

looking at light winds from the North north`westerly directhon.

Tomorrow shows a decaying cold front pushing down from the north, meaning

we will have a dry start. Any mist we will have a dry start. Any mist

and fog shouldst... Should clear quickly. We will see showers but

they are likely to be well scattered. We can't rule out an odd

sharp one but nothing like the showers out there just now. We are

expecting spells of sunshind to which should help temperatures up to

21 or 22 Celsius. The winds tomorrow between the north`west and

north`east or light to moderate but they might become variable for a

time. We finished the day whth showers but for many of us, tomorrow

could be largely of not completely dry day. The best of the sunshine

takes temperatures into the low 20s and on Wednesday it will be

chillier, with a colder air mass. The further north you are, the

chillier Wednesday will be. But eventually we should see spdlls of

sunshine. A grey deal of uncertainty about Thursday and Friday btt, as it

stands, Forrester looks find and dry and it could be warmer that smack

Thursday. At the moment, it looks like any rain will eventually arrive

on Friday and we are looking at showers, perhaps banding together to

give a longer spell of rain. They are not set in stone so we will keep

you posted. Overnight, Tuesday is looking at the chilly night. ``
