With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn.

0:00:160:00:18

A book of condolence has been opened in Borrowash

0:00:180:00:21

for Claire Nagle and her family.

0:00:210:00:22

The 38-year-old was killed on Friday - her son was seriously injured.

0:00:220:00:26

Police say the attack on them and the death

0:00:260:00:28

of a man on the M1 - a short while later - are linked.

0:00:280:00:31

They aren't looking for anyone else in the investigation.

0:00:310:00:34

Elise Chamberlain reports.

0:00:340:00:38

Prayers for a family in mourning...

0:00:390:00:40

Mum-of-five Claire was found by police at a house

0:00:400:00:42

on Charnwood Avenue on Friday.

0:00:420:00:44

Here at the family home on Station Road, forensic teams have

0:00:440:00:47

been gathering evidence today as the murder

0:00:470:00:49

investigation continues.

0:00:490:00:53

In a statement, Claire's father, Martin Paton, said the entire family

0:00:530:00:56

is devastated at the loss of a much loved beautiful and vibrant mother,

0:00:560:00:59

daughter and sister.

0:00:590:01:03

They have described this as a tragic incident for everyone

0:01:030:01:05

involved and say they do not want to apportion any blame.

0:01:050:01:09

They thanked everyone for their ongoing messages of support.

0:01:090:01:14

At the local parish church, a book of condolence has been opened.

0:01:140:01:18

Someone from our church here was involved, offering first aid.

0:01:180:01:24

She had her baby with her and she offered the blanket

0:01:240:01:27

from the baby for the son who was severely injured.

0:01:270:01:30

It is going to take people a long time, obviously,

0:01:300:01:33

to get over the trauma of these tragic events.

0:01:330:01:37

She was among a group of people who ran to the aid of Claire's

0:01:370:01:41

22-year-old son who was found in the street with

0:01:410:01:43

severe head injuries.

0:01:430:01:46

The shock did not hit me until afterwards.

0:01:460:01:49

I just knelt down to see if I could help her out

0:01:490:01:52

doing what I could do.

0:01:520:01:53

It was just a case of, for lack of a better

0:01:530:01:56

word, just pitching in.

0:01:560:01:57

An online fundraising page has now been set up for the family.

0:01:570:02:00

On it, the children's grandmother has said her grandson has undergone

0:02:000:02:02

eight hours of surgery and is now recovering.

0:02:020:02:05

Donations are rising by the hour as people living here come to terms

0:02:050:02:08

with these tragic events.

0:02:080:02:09

Elise Chamberlain, BBC East Midlands Today, in Borrowash.

0:02:090:02:16

East Midlands Ambulance Service has taken on specialist nurses to handle

0:02:170:02:19

999 calls from patients with mental health problems.

0:02:190:02:21

The new control room staff are the latest addition to a team

0:02:210:02:24

of clinicians hoping to offer more advice over the phone

0:02:240:02:27

rather than always having to send out an ambulance.

0:02:270:02:32

More and more people are accessing the 999 system and what we need

0:02:320:02:35

to be able to do is to make sure that the Ambulance Service responds

0:02:350:02:38

to those patients that are genuinely life-threatening and that other

0:02:380:02:41

patients are able to access other types of health services.

0:02:410:02:47

Three wins tonight for the East Midlands at the BBC's

0:02:470:02:50

Sports Personality Of The Year Awards.

0:02:500:02:51

Leicester City's Claudio Ranieri was named Coach of the Year,

0:02:510:02:54

and the club itself, Team of the Year.

0:02:540:02:57

132 Foxes fans were invited to the ceremony to mark

0:02:570:03:00

132 years of the club.

0:03:000:03:03

And BBC East Midlands Today's Unsung Hero took the national title too -

0:03:030:03:06

Nottingham's Marcellus Baz left behind a life of gangs to help

0:03:060:03:09

others do the same through boxing.

0:03:090:03:11

I would just like to say a massive thank you to my family who have

0:03:110:03:16

supported me through this, my team, who I could not have

0:03:160:03:20

done it without them, and to all the kids that actually

0:03:200:03:23

made the change into positive activities.

0:03:230:03:28

Nottingham short track speed skater Elise Christie has won a second gold

0:03:280:03:31

at the World Cup this weekend.

0:03:310:03:35

She won both 1,000 metre events in South Korea -

0:03:350:03:39

beating the world number one in the first.

0:03:390:03:40

That's on top of winning gold in both 500 metre events

0:03:400:03:43

last weekend as well.

0:03:430:03:44

This - the last weekend of resurfacing work closing

0:03:450:03:47

the runway at East Midlands Airport - saw balloon pilots take advantage

0:03:470:03:50

of the safe and accessible airspace.

0:03:500:03:53

Eight balloons took off from Donington Park -

0:03:530:03:57

a chance to use skies that may not be open to them again until the next

0:03:570:04:01

resurfacing in 20 or so years!

0:04:020:04:03

That takes us nicely to the weather - Alex has our forecast.

0:04:030:04:07

Good evening.

0:04:080:04:09

Well, we have got a fairly murky night ahead, weather-wise.

0:04:090:04:11

There is a yellow weather warning in force for fog this evening,

0:04:110:04:14

so do take care, there may be some tricky driving conditions.

0:04:140:04:17

We have still broadly got high pressure in charge of the weather

0:04:170:04:19

but this secluded front coming across is likely to bring

0:04:190:04:22

some drizzle tomorrow.

0:04:220:04:23

As for the rest of the night, those fog patches are quite dense

0:04:230:04:26

in places, but where we do get slight breaks in the cloud,

0:04:260:04:29

there is the chance of seeing a sparkle of frost in rural spots,

0:04:290:04:32

with lows in towns and cities of around five degrees Celsius.

0:04:320:04:35

Quite a grey and murky start tomorrow morning,

0:04:350:04:36

it may take a little while for that fog to lift.

0:04:360:04:39

Some drizzly conditions as well and hints of brightness

0:04:390:04:41

here and there with highs of around eight degrees Celsius.

0:04:410:04:44

I will leave you with the outlook, more cloudy conditions on the way.

0:04:440:04:51

Thanks for staying with us.
