Hello and welcome to the Look East late news.

:00:00.:00:00.

The girlfriend of missing airman Corrie McKeague tells Look East

:00:00.:00:07.

she's pregnant and just wishes he'd come home.

:00:08.:00:11.

Being a mum is something I've always wanted to be,

:00:12.:00:15.

but it's just a horrible time, isn't it, really?

:00:16.:00:23.

An inquest in Chelmsford hears how a prisoner electrocuted himself

:00:24.:00:27.

Well, I'll have all the details in your weather for the week ahead.

:00:28.:00:44.

First tonight, Corrie McKeague's girlfriend has told Look East

:00:45.:00:49.

April Oliver, who's a personal trainer in Norfolk, has been talking

:00:50.:00:55.

about her relationship with the airman, who's been missing

:00:56.:00:58.

She discovered she was pregnant just a couple of weeks

:00:59.:01:02.

We'll hear from her, and from Corrie's mother,

:01:03.:01:06.

She's always wanted to be a mother, but looking at the scan

:01:07.:01:13.

of her and Corrie Mckeague's unborn child, April Oliver wishes

:01:14.:01:16.

the circumstances could have been different.

:01:17.:01:19.

Their baby is due late spring, early summer.

:01:20.:01:21.

The 21-year-old personal trainer, who lives in West Norfolk,

:01:22.:01:24.

first met Corrie on an online dating website last summer.

:01:25.:01:28.

She only discovered she was pregnant a fortnight after

:01:29.:01:31.

You know when the lady showed its foot?

:01:32.:01:35.

Yes. That was really, really good.

:01:36.:01:38.

Corrie's mother, Nicola Urquhart, and April's parents have known

:01:39.:01:44.

about the pregnancy since the outset and are supporting her.

:01:45.:01:47.

Corrie, who was based at RAF Honington in Suffolk,

:01:48.:01:49.

was last caught on CCTV in the early hours of Saturday 24 September

:01:50.:01:53.

The 23-year-old had been enjoying a night out with friends before

:01:54.:02:00.

he left this nightclub alone in the early hours.

:02:01.:02:03.

After entering an area behind some shops, he disappeared.

:02:04.:02:07.

As this home video shows, Corrie Mckeague is an extrovert

:02:08.:02:13.

and happy to perform for both family and friends.

:02:14.:02:16.

His family say he would talk to anyone.

:02:17.:02:20.

Every week Nicola flies to Suffolk from Scotland to coordinate

:02:21.:02:23.

Last week she brought in a team of private

:02:24.:02:30.

Preparations are in place for the birth of Corrie and April's baby.

:02:31.:02:34.

April now hopes for some personal privacy for her and her baby's

:02:35.:02:37.

health, both families now determined that efforts are now

:02:38.:02:39.

focused on finding Corrie, this unborn baby's father.

:02:40.:02:49.

Earlier today, Susie Fowler-Watt sat down with April Oliver

:02:50.:02:52.

Corrie's mother Nicola Urquhart was there too.

:02:53.:02:57.

They invited the Look East cameras along now so that April can focus

:02:58.:03:01.

on her unborn baby for the rest of her pregnancy.

:03:02.:03:04.

April started by talking about her relationship with Corrie.

:03:05.:03:12.

We started seeing each other, and it was quite casual.

:03:13.:03:16.

We were both seeing other people at the time, and then we led

:03:17.:03:20.

on to have conversations whereby we thought it was getting serious,

:03:21.:03:24.

and what we were going to do and what plans we had.

:03:25.:03:28.

So, yes, we were sort of getting on our way to being just us

:03:29.:03:35.

and happy and seeing what we wanted out of each other.

:03:36.:03:38.

We'd had conversations about children and what

:03:39.:03:41.

It was something I hoped he would be here to help me make

:03:42.:03:48.

And you say you've had to go through it alone -

:03:49.:03:54.

did you have any doubts about whether you wanted to keep the baby?

:03:55.:03:59.

There is the element of, what if he did not come back,

:04:00.:04:02.

Again I had to think about it and take a sensible approach.

:04:03.:04:07.

Being a mum is something I've always wanted to be,

:04:08.:04:10.

right from when I was younger, but it is just

:04:11.:04:18.

And you're still hopeful Corrie will come home?

:04:19.:04:28.

There's nothing I would love more, is for him to walk through the door

:04:29.:04:32.

Yes, I would probably cry, that would be the first thing.

:04:33.:04:38.

But my only concern is getting him home and how we can

:04:39.:04:41.

And, Nicola, for you, this is another twist in

:04:42.:04:49.

I've known from the beginning, but April is 21,

:04:50.:05:06.

she's pregnant and there are exceptional circumstances behind it,

:05:07.:05:15.

so it is something that somebody would normally want to keep quiet

:05:16.:05:18.

but that's only thing she's had to deal with just now.

:05:19.:05:22.

We have been trying to keep it quiet -

:05:23.:05:25.

hopefully by doing this it will draw a line under it and April

:05:26.:05:28.

to get the chance to try and enjoy her pregnancy as best

:05:29.:05:31.

she can, but safely, without any additional stress.

:05:32.:05:32.

And this will be your first grandchild.

:05:33.:05:34.

It should be a joyous occasion for you.

:05:35.:05:37.

I was at the scan with April the other day

:05:38.:05:41.

and I don't think any one could see that and not be affected by it.

:05:42.:05:45.

But it is incredibly difficult to bounce my head,

:05:46.:05:47.

as it is for April as well, from the excitement of a new baby

:05:48.:05:50.

to what we are actually trying to focus on just now,

:05:51.:05:53.

This is a difficult thing to think about,

:05:54.:06:07.

but I guess, potentially, you're looking at the possibility of having

:06:08.:06:12.

It is something all of us are thinking about, but again, as I've

:06:13.:06:21.

said so many times before, I won't accept Corrie isn't coming back

:06:22.:06:25.

It's not constructive - it doesn't help me find him.

:06:26.:06:32.

While we have no news, they're still the chance he could come back,

:06:33.:06:36.

so I will just keep thinking that way.

:06:37.:06:38.

Nicola and April, thank you both very much.

:06:39.:06:46.

Other news now, and an inquest in Chelmsford has heard how

:06:49.:06:57.

a prisoner who was under observation electrocuted himself with wires

:06:58.:06:59.

25-year-old Dean Saunders died a year ago at Chelmsford Prison.

:07:00.:07:04.

The inquest heard his electrocution was only the third recorded

:07:05.:07:08.

in a prison in England and Wales since records began.

:07:09.:07:12.

Dean Saunders' parents, Mark and Donna,

:07:13.:07:14.

arriving at the coroner's court in Chelmsford this morning.

:07:15.:07:17.

Mark Saunders gave evidence today and, his voice breaking

:07:18.:07:20.

with emotion, he said he believed his son had

:07:21.:07:23.

This inquest is expected to last at least a week.

:07:24.:07:27.

The evidence is being heard by a jury.

:07:28.:07:29.

Caroline Beasley-Murray, the senior coroner,

:07:30.:07:31.

told them, we will be looking into whether the state authorities

:07:32.:07:34.

did or did not do everything they could to prevent

:07:35.:07:37.

The 25-year-old from Winsford in Essex, seen here with his partner

:07:38.:07:43.

Claire and son Teddy, electrocuted himself using wires

:07:44.:07:45.

from a TV set in his cell at Chelmsford prison,

:07:46.:07:49.

only the third electrocution recorded in prisons in England

:07:50.:07:51.

He was in prison because, during a suicide attempt

:07:52.:07:58.

at the family home, he'd stabbed his father,

:07:59.:08:01.

who'd been trying to stop him, and had been charged

:08:02.:08:04.

His family say signs he was acutely mentally ill were ignored,

:08:05.:08:09.

and they say he should have been under constant supervision

:08:10.:08:11.

Instead, an officer checked on him every half an hour.

:08:12.:08:15.

Dean's partner said a nurse at the prison had assured

:08:16.:08:17.

She told the jury Dean was never given the opportunity to get help.

:08:18.:08:22.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found

:08:23.:08:30.

The woman in her 20s, named locally as Kerri McAuley,

:08:31.:08:34.

was found at Southalls Way in the City late last night.

:08:35.:08:38.

A JustGiving page, set up to help the family pay for funeral costs,

:08:39.:08:41.

In the draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup,

:08:42.:08:49.

made this evening, Norwich will play Arsenal if they can beat Southampton

:08:50.:08:52.

Ipswich also have a replay against Lincoln.

:08:53.:08:55.

If they win that, Town will play Championship leaders Brighton

:08:56.:09:02.

at Portman Road at the end of the month.

:09:03.:09:04.

Thank you. We will have patchy rain from the North West moving down

:09:05.:09:19.

tonight, but dry weather as well with long and clear spells. The

:09:20.:09:23.

strength of wind should prevent frost foremost, but under clear

:09:24.:09:28.

skies, temperatures as low as one Celsius, and we may see frost in

temperatures fall away to seven Celsius. On Wednesday, isobars are
