:00:15. > :00:18.Welcome to Friday's Look East. The bodies of a man at the women are
:00:18. > :00:21.discovered at a house in Suffolk. Police are treating their deaths as
:00:21. > :00:27.unexplained. New name, but the same old trains
:00:27. > :00:31.for now. Can Abellio keep them on track?
:00:31. > :00:38.Efiant and determined. The Norwich City boss puts their drubbing at

:00:48. > :00:50.
:00:50. > :00:53.BBC's sports awards. I'm speechless. First tonight, a major police
:00:53. > :00:56.investigation is underway after two bodies are found at a house in
:00:56. > :01:02.Suffolk. It all started yesterday evening when the police received a
:01:02. > :01:07.report that a 31-year-old woman had failed to return home.
:01:07. > :01:10.Their inquiry moved to a house in Kesgrave just outside Ipswich. The
:01:10. > :01:13.body of a man was found in the garage. The dead woman was
:01:13. > :01:20.discovered in a bedroom. Our chief reporter Kim Riley is in Kesgrave
:01:20. > :01:30.now. The body of a man was found in the
:01:30. > :01:36.
:01:36. > :01:39.garage. You can see that Walker Chase is
:01:39. > :01:42.still cordoned off tonight. The house where the two bodies were
:01:42. > :01:46.found is the one behind me, with the tent erected outside its garage.
:01:46. > :01:49.Police say a family member called them at about 20 to 9 last night,
:01:49. > :01:53.concerned that the woman had not returned to her home. This house
:01:53. > :01:56.has been rented since the summer by a man I have been told was known as
:01:56. > :01:59.Daz and who apparently worked for BT. When police called at the house
:01:59. > :02:01.last night, a light was on buy they got no answer.
:02:01. > :02:04.Forensic teams are beginning their task in the garage where the man's
:02:04. > :02:06.body was found and the bedroom of whether the to one-year-old woman
:02:06. > :02:15.lay dead. This man lives opposite the house. He told me what happened
:02:16. > :02:19.when police knocked on his door. The garage light was on. The door
:02:19. > :02:22.was closed. The police went in. They opened the garage door and I
:02:22. > :02:26.think they found a body there. Then went into the house through the
:02:26. > :02:30.back door and I think they found a body there as well. I presume a
:02:30. > :02:40.female body in the house and the male in the garage. People living
:02:40. > :02:40.
:02:40. > :02:43.here are shocked by it the deaths. My daughter has only been here for
:02:43. > :02:49.less than two weeks and this has happened just round the corner. It
:02:49. > :02:54.is not something you expect. She was a bit worried this morning.
:02:54. > :02:59.is just a little bit scary. You see these people going in and out the
:02:59. > :03:09.house, you do not know what goes on behind closed doors. The police say
:03:09. > :03:10.
:03:10. > :03:13.they are treating the deaths as unexplained. Obviously, it is
:03:13. > :03:16.highly upsetting for all those people living nearby. Absolutely. I
:03:16. > :03:21.can understand that people will be very concerned. I would reiterate
:03:21. > :03:31.that I do not believe that there is any ongoing risk to anybody else.
:03:31. > :03:31.
:03:31. > :03:34.Police have been carrying out investigations on a car. That car
:03:34. > :03:36.has now been taken away for further investigation. Police say formal
:03:36. > :03:39.identification is expected tomorrow and, over the weekend, a Home
:03:39. > :03:49.Office pathologist will carry out post-mortems to establish exactly
:03:49. > :03:57.
:03:57. > :03:59.how the pair died. That car has now been taken away for further
:03:59. > :04:02.investigation. Police say formal identification is expected tomorrow
:04:02. > :04:05.and, over the weekend, a Home Office pathologist will carry out
:04:06. > :04:08.post-mortems to establish exactly how the pair died. Davinder Singh
:04:09. > :04:11.was due to be sentenced for the attacks which happened over several
:04:11. > :04:14.years in Bedford. Our reporter Stuart Ratcliffe was in court and
:04:14. > :04:17.he's in Luton now. What do they know about this man.
:04:17. > :04:21.Davinder Singh was convicted here just a few months ago. He was a
:04:21. > :04:27.convicted of the rate of a 24-year- old woman and two grapes of an 18-
:04:27. > :04:30.year-old woman and also common assault. The attacks took place
:04:30. > :04:33.over a two year period. One took place on derelict ground, and
:04:33. > :04:43.another in an alleyway. Davinder Singh was described as a dangerous
:04:43. > :04:48.and sexual predator. We would exactly happened in court?
:04:48. > :04:52.-- what exactly happened. Davinder Singh said he wanted to
:04:52. > :04:55.speak to the judge. He protested his innocence, said he was an
:04:55. > :04:58.innocent man and badly let down by his legal team. He went on to
:04:58. > :05:06.describe himself as nothing more than a Jack the Lad. That brought
:05:06. > :05:09.gasps from the public gallery. It was at that point he took a hairpin
:05:09. > :05:13.out of his bandana and slashed his arm, drawing blood. He threatened
:05:13. > :05:22.to cut his own throat. The court then cleared whilst police dealt
:05:22. > :05:26.with the incident. Proceedings finally got under way one hour at a
:05:26. > :05:29.later but without Davinder Singh who have been taken to hospital.
:05:29. > :05:35.What happens now? The judge said she wanted to
:05:35. > :05:40.sentence him fast he was there. She wanted her sentencing remarks to be
:05:40. > :05:44.left ringing in his ears. But the people I spoke to today said this
:05:44. > :05:49.it raises some very serious questions. How was he allowed to
:05:49. > :05:55.walk across an open court without wearing handcuffs, accompanied by
:05:55. > :05:58.one alone security guard. How busy allowed to bring a sharpened here
:05:58. > :06:03.penned into open court? He will be back on Monday afternoon it to be
:06:03. > :06:06.sentenced. The Dutch company taking over some
:06:06. > :06:09.of the region's railways has admitted it will not be able to
:06:09. > :06:12.invest in new trains for at least another two years. In their first
:06:12. > :06:19.TV interview, Abellio, which won the Greater Anglia franchise in
:06:19. > :06:24.October, said new rolling stock will only be available from 2014.
:06:24. > :06:29.The trains and Holland are a cut above are as well stop modern,
:06:30. > :06:33.clean and punctual. Some are even double-decker. In a two months, a
:06:33. > :06:37.subsidiary of the Dutch state railway will take over the Anglia
:06:37. > :06:45.franchise, but we will not get trains like this. Company back will
:06:45. > :06:53.inherit the same old trains that national expense -- a National
:06:53. > :06:59.Express currently one. I have come to Leeds where Abellio has one of
:06:59. > :07:03.Northern at rail. How is it doing? They carry more passengers than
:07:03. > :07:10.when the franchise began. Overcrowding quickly became a
:07:10. > :07:17.problem. They put together innovative deals to add more
:07:17. > :07:25.carriages. This cycle. Is similar to one being planned for Chelmsford
:07:25. > :07:28.along with cleaner stations and better Customer Information.
:07:28. > :07:33.problem with a franchise is we're talking about two year time frame
:07:33. > :07:38.is a big investments will not be possible. But we will make sure
:07:38. > :07:48.that we give them a bit of an uplift in getting the passenger
:07:48. > :07:49.
:07:49. > :07:57.experience a right. Abellio are -- Abellio will apply are for the 15
:07:57. > :08:06.year franchise in 2015. That bigger investment is possible with a
:08:06. > :08:09.longer franchise. So we might get a shiny new trains then, but not
:08:09. > :08:13.double-decker. And you can see more of that report
:08:13. > :08:15.by Richard Bond in the Politics Show in the East this weekend. The
:08:15. > :08:18.programme comes from Sheringham in Norfolk and will be looking forward

:09:19. > :09:22.and fair pension. These people have worked for this company for years
:09:22. > :09:25.and years. They have embraced any change that this company has
:09:25. > :09:31.brought in, not always happily, but they have embraced it. They have
:09:31. > :09:36.made those changes and they feel this is one ask too much. These
:09:36. > :09:40.workers are just some of around 2000 on strike across the country.
:09:40. > :09:48.For them, taking action that soar close to Christmas has not been
:09:48. > :09:52.easy. Under this new scheme, I will lose a lot of money every year. It
:09:53. > :09:58.is just too much for me to lose from my pension. It is not an easy
:09:58. > :10:02.option, we will lose money for standing out here. But it is
:10:02. > :10:08.important to show that these are changes we simply do not agree with.
:10:08. > :10:13.The pension is something that you needed to aspire to and hopefully

:25:42. > :25:46.really cold and frosty start to tomorrow, but there will be plenty
