Hello and welcome to the programme. Iraq.

:00:00.:00:07.

Coming up in Look East tonight, memories of Hannah Witheridge,

:00:08.:00:10.

the Norfolk student murdered in Thailand.

:00:11.:00:16.

Time is the ultimate healer. We hope her family can find peace as well,

:00:17.:00:25.

and all her many friends. I don t have much faith they will c`tch the

Essex, that is very challenging for the police.

:00:44.:00:45.

A simple blood test to monitor the state of a tumour, the cutthng`edge

:00:46.:00:48.

research from this region to make life easier for cancer patidnts

:00:49.:01:09.

First tonight, detectives htnting the killer of the Norfolk student

:01:10.:01:13.

Hannah Witheridge in Thailand say they're close to making an `rrest.

:01:14.:01:21.

But her university friends have told Look East they have little

:01:22.:01:23.

This week, Hannah would have been starting

:01:24.:01:30.

the second year of a master's degree at the University of Essex.

:01:31.:01:33.

Her friends say her death nhne days ago will spur them on this xear

:01:34.:01:36.

In a moment, the latest on the investigation

:01:37.:01:38.

from the BBC's correspondent in Thailand Jonathan Head.

:01:39.:01:40.

But first this report from Debbie Tubby.

:01:41.:01:45.

Matt D'Arby, his girlfriend Lucy Dunkly, and Abigail Rae werd good

:01:46.:01:47.

Matt and Lucy shared a house with her in Colchester.

:01:48.:01:51.

They found it hard to come to terms with her death.

:01:52.:01:54.

I think hopefully her familx can find peace and all her many friends.

:01:55.:02:04.

Hannah Witheridge and David Miller from Jersey were murdered

:02:05.:02:15.

Thai police are said to be expanding their DNA testing to

:02:16.:02:20.

And whether that comes tomorrow or in a week's time,

:02:21.:02:30.

These photos were taken in Thailand just before her death.

:02:31.:02:34.

She was enjoying a three`wedk holiday with three other

:02:35.:02:38.

Would get updates on SnapCh`t, where she was staying and stuff lhke that.

:02:39.:02:43.

And that she was having a good time out there.

:02:44.:02:47.

Like, this is my view over breakfast this morning.

:02:48.:02:50.

Like, hope you're having fun in Colchester!

:02:51.:02:53.

She was due back at Essex University this week.

:02:54.:02:56.

Everyone felt the loss and just going in, it was

:02:57.:02:59.

And just saying how they couldn't believe it.

:03:00.:03:05.

Hannah Witheridge had met David Miller while on holid`y.

:03:06.:03:07.

They were caught on CCTV holding hands just

:03:08.:03:09.

It's believed he may have tried to stop the attack.

:03:10.:03:15.

I'm really grateful, if that is the case that he was trying to help her.

:03:16.:03:19.

The girls that were out there said that he was just lovelx.

:03:20.:03:23.

Obviously, really smitten with Hannah,

:03:24.:03:24.

I think this will really sptr us on to get through the year to do the

:03:25.:03:31.

And be there for her family as well in whatever way we can.

:03:32.:03:37.

All the students from Hannah's masters degree are hoping

:03:38.:03:39.

The police investigation in Thailand has moved from the island of Koh Tao

:03:40.:03:49.

The police are looking for a man who left the area shortly

:03:50.:03:55.

They say they are close to laking an arrest.

:03:56.:03:58.

BBC Correspondent Jonathan Head sent this report.

:03:59.:04:02.

They will make an arrest soon although thex're not

:04:03.:04:06.

But it does seem to be conndcted to how soon they get DNA tests done.

:04:07.:04:12.

There is one very powerful family who own a bar at which David

:04:13.:04:15.

and Hannah were seen in the hours before they were killed,

:04:16.:04:18.

and where they are reported to have got involved in an argument.

:04:19.:04:21.

A lot of people on the island talk about th`t bar

:04:22.:04:23.

Members of that family were questioned

:04:24.:04:28.

The owner of the AC Bar, whdre the victims were, and his brothdr, who

:04:29.:04:34.

was identified by police as a man in some closed circuit television

:04:35.:04:37.

footage running, late at night, around the time of the murddrs

:04:38.:04:43.

The man they are hunting in Bangkok, he is believed to be the son

:04:44.:04:49.

of the bar owner who was qudstioned yesterday.

:04:50.:04:52.

Some people say he might be an assistant,

:04:53.:04:55.

He vanished within hours of the bodies being discovered and the

:04:56.:04:59.

police say they have a manhtnt on to track him down here in the capital.

:05:00.:05:02.

Of course, once they find hhm, they will need to question him.

:05:03.:05:05.

And take DNA samples from hhm as well.

:05:06.:05:07.

And that is the point at whhch they clearly believe this is a ldad.

:05:08.:05:10.

But until they've got him and they've taken most DNA samples,

:05:11.:05:14.

and analyse the DNA samples they took from the other two members of

:05:15.:05:18.

the family, they cannot poshtively identify them yet as being connected

:05:19.:05:21.

to the murder, but there ard, I should say, optimistic sotnds

:05:22.:05:24.

The police in Essex are under investig`tion

:05:25.:05:31.

again for the way they've h`ndled a case of domestic abuse.

:05:32.:05:34.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is looking

:05:35.:05:36.

at why the force took a month to arrest a man who was

:05:37.:05:39.

Essex Police were heavily criticised following four domestic murders that

:05:40.:05:46.

But in June last year, the force was praised for making improvemdnts

:05:47.:05:54.

80 emergency calls are made to Essex Police every day reporting

:05:55.:05:58.

And the force currently has a list of 130 perpetrators in the county,

:05:59.:06:05.

How Essex Police response to domestic violence under the

:06:06.:06:21.

spotlight again today. It h`s emerged the Independent Polhce

:06:22.:06:22.

Complaints Commission is looking into a complaint from a wom`n in

:06:23.:06:28.

Southend. Despite a court restraining order banning contact, a

:06:29.:06:31.

man had messaged her on sochal media and visited her house. But he was

:06:32.:06:36.

all `` only arrested one month later when he breached the order `gain.

:06:37.:06:41.

The investigation began last month. It is looking into any delax for

:06:42.:06:47.

arresting the man. That is `lso looking into whether a risk

:06:48.:06:50.

assessment was carried out. Although it remains to be seen whethdr the

:06:51.:06:55.

latest report finds failings, the IPCC has criticised Essex Police in

:06:56.:06:59.

the past. It has said the force ignored warnings that these three

:07:00.:07:08.

women were in danger. All three and Christine chamber 's Mac datghter

:07:09.:07:12.

were murdered. Improving thd force's response to domestic

:07:13.:07:17.

violence is a personal priority of the Chief Constable. The cotnty s

:07:18.:07:19.

Police and Crime Commissiondr says it is getting better. The police are

:07:20.:07:29.

making extensive use of the protection notices which kedp the

:07:30.:07:33.

ball safe. They are at the cutting edge of new approaches but we are on

:07:34.:07:39.

a journey. There won't be a change overnight. It is likely to be

:07:40.:07:43.

several months before the l`test reporters published.

:07:44.:07:47.

The Suffolk brewer Greene Khng has had a bid to take over one

:07:48.:07:50.

It's part of a huge expansion programme in recent years.

:07:51.:07:53.

They have bid ?660 million pounds for the pub chain Sphrit

:07:54.:07:58.

They now have until next month to make an improved offer.

:07:59.:08:11.

3500 people work for Greene King. That is dwarfed by the comp`ny's

:08:12.:08:20.

23,000 employees nationwide. The Greene King of 20 years ago is

:08:21.:08:24.

virtually unrecognisable. The company operates nearly 2000 pubs

:08:25.:08:29.

and restaurants. It operates the hungry horse chain and at the top

:08:30.:08:39.

end of the market, Loch Fynd, and its appetite shows no signs of

:08:40.:08:49.

waning. And now the Spirit company. This investment specialist says that

:08:50.:08:53.

Greene King's expansion has been driven by food. A lot of people

:08:54.:08:58.

might be surprised about thd brands of Spirit but from a financhal sense

:08:59.:09:02.

there is lots of synergies that can be made between the two. Sphrit has

:09:03.:09:07.

an excellent footprint, the locations of its pubs around the

:09:08.:09:11.

country are the sorts of thhngs that Greene King wants to expand into.

:09:12.:09:16.

Since 2005, Greene King's acquisitions have come thick and

:09:17.:09:20.

fast. Barely a year has gond by without a takeover to add to its

:09:21.:09:25.

growing portfolio. With growth come tensions. Recently Greene Khng was

:09:26.:09:30.

resized or trying to rebrand local brand signs a plus in which it has

:09:31.:09:33.

reviewed. It is no longer a regional brewer. But that doesn't matter to

:09:34.:09:42.

this pub owner. We believe passionately in local product. These

:09:43.:09:48.

are truly regarded as local. And the service we obtain from the local

:09:49.:09:52.

suppliers, including Greene King, is second to none. Greene King's first

:09:53.:09:57.

off of ?660 million was fred but by Spirit. A second improved offer is

:09:58.:10:03.

widely expected. It has unthl mid`October to make a final offer or

:10:04.:10:05.

walk away. The ferry route linking Essdx with

:10:06.:10:07.

Denmark will end this weekend DFDS Seaways says it's scrapping the

:10:08.:10:10.

service between Harwich and Esbjerg Let's go live to Harwich now,

:10:11.:10:16.

and our business corresponddnt This very low and well`to`do people

:10:17.:10:44.

to explore the continent in more Joel `` genteel times. It is now no

:10:45.:10:52.

longer competitive. Take a closer look. This is the last passdnger

:10:53.:10:58.

ferry service to Scandinavi`. The route has been in operation since

:10:59.:11:06.

1875 but on Sunday the final sailing will be made. Over the years

:11:07.:11:10.

passenger numbers have falldn and thief for `` Ferry has found it

:11:11.:11:13.

difficult to compete with btdget airlines. Many passengers are happy

:11:14.:11:18.

to fly but many others, those with cars, for example, are not.

:11:19.:11:22.

People like Roger Moran of Southwold.

:11:23.:11:23.

His wife, Hela, is Danish, and the couple are regular tsers

:11:24.:11:26.

It is going to be very inconvenient for caravanners and motorholes to go

:11:27.:11:30.

to Denmark, and it will cause them a longer trip, involving

:11:31.:11:34.

a couple of days via Calais and Dover, and that will be bad news.

:11:35.:11:43.

DFDS said that under new EU rules, ferry operators will have to use

:11:44.:11:47.

That would cost ?2 million to implement on the Harwich service

:11:48.:11:53.

The service has been under pressure for a while.

:11:54.:11:58.

We have seen the end of duty`free shopping some xears

:11:59.:12:02.

ago, freight and passenger traffic has been reducing over the course

:12:03.:12:06.

of time, and with cost rises coming in next year, we believe th`t it

:12:07.:12:09.

DFDS dropped a ferry servicd to Cuxhaven in Germany in 2005.

:12:10.:12:16.

The end of the Esbjerg routd will leave Harwich with just one ferry

:12:17.:12:19.

operator, Stenna Line, which goes to the Hook of Holland.

:12:20.:12:23.

Its passenger numbers have hncreased since the introduction

:12:24.:12:25.

In future, the Morans face a much longer journey to get to

:12:26.:12:30.

Denmark through Dover involving a marathon drive on the continent.

:12:31.:12:35.

They predict the end of the Harwich service will cut the number

:12:36.:12:38.

of Scandinavian tourists who visit the East.

:12:39.:12:47.

Detectives investigating thd murder of James Attfield in Colchester have

:12:48.:12:49.

The 19`year`old is being questioned on suspicion of lurder.

:12:50.:12:52.

James Attfield was found with more than 100 knife wounds near

:12:53.:12:55.

So far, ten people have been arrestdd.

:12:56.:13:12.

Still to come tonight, the pressure's rising as thd UK s

:13:13.:13:14.

biggest collection of barometers goes up for s`le.

:13:15.:13:16.

And the autumn season gets under way at Newmarket.

:13:17.:13:19.

We're looking ahead to the Cambridgeshire Meeting

:13:20.:13:20.

and some of the best young horses in the country.

:13:21.:13:33.

330,000 people in the UK ard diagnosed with cancer every year.

:13:34.:13:36.

Put another way, one person every two minutes.

:13:37.:13:38.

It's a disease that touches most of our lives.

:13:39.:13:41.

Scientists in this region are at the forefront of cancer research,

:13:42.:13:47.

don't need painful biopsies, or expensive scans.

:13:48.:14:10.

Part of me thought why is this happening to me?

:14:11.:14:13.

I'm 33 years old, I've got a one`year`old child.

:14:14.:14:17.

Things like that don't happen to people like me.

:14:18.:14:20.

But you deal with it and although it is horrific, you just get on with it

:14:21.:14:26.

because that's what you havd to do, especially when you've got children.

:14:27.:14:29.

During treatment, Victoria was subjected to bhopsies,

:14:30.:14:35.

CT scans, MRIs, all means to see the disease's progress.

:14:36.:14:41.

But now a Cambridge life schence start`up

:14:42.:14:44.

Through a simple test showing tiny fragments of the cancerous tumour.

:14:45.:16:41.

The trainer John Gosden has entered 16 horses, and is qtietly

:16:42.:16:45.

Our Sports Editor Jonathan Park has been out with him on the gallops.

:16:46.:16:53.

It's the time of year when Newmarket looks to the future, searchhng

:16:54.:16:56.

for new champions to graduate from the gallops to the racdcourse.

:16:57.:17:01.

Winning on the Rowley Mile hs a distant dream for some

:17:02.:17:04.

but in John Gosden's ring, many make the grade.

:17:05.:17:07.

We have had some luck down the years, as you know.

:17:08.:17:10.

You've got to have the right horses, but we've got a couple

:17:11.:17:13.

in Cambridgeshire, and I thhnk Cornrow is doing particularly well.

:17:14.:17:15.

Newmarket's former champion trainer is enjoying another fine se`son

:17:16.:17:19.

He could become the Cambridgeshire meeting's most successful ever

:17:20.:17:22.

trainer if he saddles another two whnners.

:17:23.:17:25.

Something he did seven times with racing's latest star Kingman

:17:26.:17:29.

but a throat infection has finished his season and career.

:17:30.:17:32.

Instead, he is retiring to the same stud as Henry Cecil's

:17:33.:17:35.

I think it would have been ` great race over a mile between thdm.

:17:36.:17:41.

At six we would have had the advantage, and at the mhle, he

:17:42.:17:44.

But over a mile, it would h`ve been a fascinating affair.

:17:45.:17:49.

I can't talk to Henry, I usdd to stand here and watch Frankel with

:17:50.:17:52.

him, but I'll have to check with him one day what he thinks.

:17:53.:17:55.

Racing needs the big stars like Frankel or Kingman

:17:56.:17:57.

Those kinds of horses are stand out from the crowd.

:17:58.:18:02.

The search is on now to find one of the new stars of the futtre.

:18:03.:18:05.

We might just see one make a breakthrough

:18:06.:18:07.

We are coming to that period of the year where the next tranche

:18:08.:18:12.

of high`class horses are showing their worth, going into winter for

:18:13.:18:15.

Then, of course, we've got the fantastic

:18:16.:18:18.

Cambridge Handicap, a race that has been run for over 150 years.

:18:19.:18:22.

We've got some very high`cl`ss two`year`old races coming up,

:18:23.:18:26.

looking to be the stars of the future.

:18:27.:18:27.

There are 23 races over the next three days.

:18:28.:18:30.

The highlight, Saturday's Cambridgeshire H`ndicap,

:18:31.:18:32.

which dates back to 1839, featuring over 30 horses.

:18:33.:18:37.

20,000 racegoers are expectdd and John Gosden hopes to be in the

:18:38.:18:40.

winner's enclosure as he bids to become the King of Cambridgdshire.

:18:41.:18:51.

In the football last night, MK Dons won, and are through to

:18:52.:18:54.

the fourth round of the League Cup for the first time.

:18:55.:18:56.

They lost 1`0 to Shrewsbury from League Two.

:18:57.:19:09.

MK Dons made headlines with their heroics over man `` Manchester City.

:19:10.:19:16.

Against Bradford, they showdd it was no fluke. Two goals from thd top

:19:17.:19:20.

drawer from one of the Football League 's finest finishes. He is on

:19:21.:19:24.

loan from Arsenal and he gave the lead after five minutes with this

:19:25.:19:28.

brilliant turn and shot. And then finished a one`on`one in thd dying

:19:29.:19:32.

minutes after this speech pdrfect pass. The mess than two months, he's

:19:33.:19:37.

scored nine goals and the MK Dons are reaping the rewards. We know

:19:38.:19:42.

what he can do. He has added goals to the pace. He has eight or nine

:19:43.:19:47.

now. So it is a fantastic achievement. He has five in this

:19:48.:19:52.

competition so he is enjoying it. Norwich's defeat by Shrewsbtry was

:19:53.:19:56.

one of the shocks of the rotnds so far. Neal Adams had made 11 changes

:19:57.:20:00.

but the Canaries failed to finish in front of goal. Then a second`half

:20:01.:20:06.

header proved decisive. Every week on Look East,

:20:07.:20:09.

we give you a barometer reading Barometers of course measurd

:20:10.:20:12.

atmospheric pressure and, before weather apps on smartphones,

:20:13.:20:18.

they were very popular. The largest private collecthon

:20:19.:20:23.

of barometers in the UK It's owned by a man from Norfolk,

:20:24.:20:28.

and Mike Liggins has been Patrick is one of the world's

:20:29.:20:45.

leading experts on barometers. He lives in a perfectly ordinary house

:20:46.:20:49.

on a nice estate in Norfolk but behind the net curtains is something

:20:50.:20:51.

quite extraordinary. 100 barometers of all shapes and

:20:52.:21:09.

sizes. They originally belonged to his father a barometer maker and

:21:10.:21:12.

restorer for most of his life until he died last year. The things that

:21:13.:21:18.

went through his workshop, he would put them to one side and he would

:21:19.:21:23.

think, I'll repair this latdr on, or it is a good example of somdthing I

:21:24.:21:28.

haven't seen many of. And so he would put it to one side. Jtst to

:21:29.:21:32.

give you an idea of the extdnt of the collection, the barometdrs go

:21:33.:21:37.

all the way up the stairs, `nd then onto the landing. Most of them are

:21:38.:21:42.

domestic but, of course, ovdr the years, barometers have been used in

:21:43.:21:46.

all walks of life. Barometers were used on ships, down the pits to read

:21:47.:21:52.

pressure and minds, and as ` marketing tool. I like the look of

:21:53.:21:58.

this one. Tell me about it. This one is made by an maker who werd the

:21:59.:22:04.

Rolls`Royce of the instrument making world of that time in the mhd`1 th

:22:05.:22:07.

century. With smartphones, whether apps and

:22:08.:22:18.

computer predictions, do we really need barometers these days? If you

:22:19.:22:24.

have a barometer in your hole, when you go past it twice a day, morning

:22:25.:22:30.

and evening, and you tap it, and you look at the reading, and thdre is

:22:31.:22:34.

something just a little bit more special about that, you know? What

:22:35.:22:40.

are they worth? Some of thel might fetch ?2000. The collection as a

:22:41.:22:44.

whole might even reach six figures. We will know more when the

:22:45.:22:51.

collection goes on sale in this on October the 3rd.

:22:52.:22:57.

We always do the barometer reading on Thursday unless somebody forgets.

:22:58.:22:58.

But today being Wednesday... It's not because I forget it,

:22:59.:23:08.

sometimes we run out of timd. There's quite a lot of weather to

:23:09.:23:13.

talk about. But a special treat for you tonight. This is our re`ding.

:23:14.:23:21.

The weather forecast this wdek is actually fairly settled, having said

:23:22.:23:25.
