:00:14. > :00:18.Hello, I'm Jenny Kirk. One of our region's most infamous killers has
:00:19. > :00:21.been found dead in prison. Simon Hall was jailed for life in 2003 for
:00:22. > :00:25.stabbing 79`year`old Joan Albert to death at her home in Suffolk. For
:00:26. > :00:29.years he claimed he was innocent. But last year he admitted the
:00:30. > :00:32.murder. Hall was found dead in his cell this morning. Simon Newton
:00:33. > :00:46.joins us now from the newsroom. Simon, this was a notorious case.
:00:47. > :00:51.Yes, largely because of Simon Hall's attempt to have his
:00:52. > :00:56.conviction overturned. Joan Albert was seen shopping in the local
:00:57. > :01:01.spermatic 24 hours before she was murdered. She was stabbed in her
:01:02. > :01:05.home five times. Simon Hall was convicted of her murder in 2003
:01:06. > :01:11.largely on friends gathered in is. He spent the next 12 years trying to
:01:12. > :01:17.overturn that conviction. He won the backing of MPs and appeared on the
:01:18. > :01:22.BBC's Rough Justice programme. But last year he made this dramatic
:01:23. > :01:27.confession. The prison service said this morning that he was found in
:01:28. > :01:32.his cell at around 5:30am this morning in an unresponsive state,
:01:33. > :01:36.you was later pronounced dead by paramedics. There is no official
:01:37. > :01:40.word on how he died, an investigation by the prisons
:01:41. > :01:52.ombudsman is on its way. There has been no statement by Joan Albert's
:01:53. > :01:55.family today. In other news two pedestrians have
:01:56. > :01:56.died on Norfolk's roads in separate accidents.
:01:57. > :01:59.Yesterday afternoon a woman was killed at Caister`on`Sea after a
:02:00. > :02:03.collision involving a bus. Then last night a man died on the A146 in
:02:04. > :02:05.Stockton after a crash involving a BMW.
:02:06. > :02:08.Campaigners have staged a meeting in Bedford to try to get its Italian
:02:09. > :02:11.consulate reopened. Bedford has a large Italian population and there
:02:12. > :02:15.was anger when the consulate suddenly shut. Now an Italian MP has
:02:16. > :02:22.flown in to meet the protestors. This Italian MP flew into Bedford to
:02:23. > :02:29.lend his support to the campaign to reopen Italy's's consulate. The
:02:30. > :02:34.protest march, the lobbying, the Parliamentary questions that have
:02:35. > :02:37.happened about Bedford and Rome has become a real trailblazer, it has
:02:38. > :02:39.become the place that other places in Europe who are having their
:02:40. > :02:47.offices closed down and are looking to. It was the brick industry that
:02:48. > :02:52.first attracted Italians to Bedford. Some 20,000 people have now made
:02:53. > :02:57.Bedford their home. At the heart of the community was this consulate,
:02:58. > :03:01.which provided advice and information and is you'd passports
:03:02. > :03:06.until it closed last month. The passport is not just for travel, it
:03:07. > :03:12.is for everyday life. For bank accounts, pensions. That is so
:03:13. > :03:14.important. A new Italian government was sworn in this weekend and
:03:15. > :03:19.campaigners say that they are confident it will now begin a review
:03:20. > :03:22.of this closure. A new fan group for members of the
:03:23. > :03:24.Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender communities has been
:03:25. > :03:27.launched at Norwich City today. Members of Proud Canaries were
:03:28. > :03:30.invited onto the pitch at half`time, during today's match against Spurs.
:03:31. > :03:33.Justin Fashanu's niece Amal was among those lending support. Stephen
:03:34. > :03:36.Fry is the group's honorary president.
:03:37. > :03:39.And in the game itself Norwich City recorded a vital home win. The
:03:40. > :03:43.Canaries went one up against Spurs at 47 minutes with this strike from
:03:44. > :03:45.Robert Snodgrass. And he almost scored a second. This free`kick
:03:46. > :03:51.hitting the bar. Norwich eventually taking three points. The win leaves
:03:52. > :03:54.them 14th. Now here with a round`up of the rest
:03:55. > :04:02.of the weekend's action, here's Shaun Peel.
:04:03. > :04:06.Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy said that his side were beaten by Leicester
:04:07. > :04:09.team that will win the league by 1 million miles. That leaves Ipswich
:04:10. > :04:19.without will be Gwen and three in five points below the cut for the
:04:20. > :04:28.play`off `` a league win in three. Posh went one off with 15 minutes
:04:29. > :04:46.left `` one up. But a goal was disallowed as it was ruled offside.
:04:47. > :04:53.MK dons's play`off ambitions continued. Colchester were heading
:04:54. > :05:03.for a point at home to Preston but North end one it 2`1 thanks only to
:05:04. > :05:09.a late own goal. Southend drew 0`0 at York. Bottom club Northampton
:05:10. > :05:13.claimed a vital win over Hartlepool. They are still five points from
:05:14. > :05:17.safety but their manager says that a performance like that gives them a
:05:18. > :05:19.fighting chance for the third of the season to go.
:05:20. > :05:24.To the weather now, and here's Elizabeth Rizzini.
:05:25. > :05:30.It will stay dry overnight tonight but it will still be breezy and it
:05:31. > :05:36.will be a brisk southerly wind. Temperatures dropping to around six
:05:37. > :05:42.or seven degrees. Staying Mall tomorrow as well. And dry during the
:05:43. > :05:46.daylight hours. There will be some spells of sunshine, so not a bad
:05:47. > :05:51.looking day. It will cloud over as we head into the late afternoon with
:05:52. > :05:56.some outbreaks of rain arriving on Monday night into Tuesday. Next week
:05:57. > :06:00.it will be quite unsettled, showery and windy at times.
:06:01. > :06:06.That's it for now, but I'll be back with more
:06:07. > :06:12.Hello. Still no sign of the weather really settling down next week.
:06:13. > :06:17.There should be an improvement for most of us tomorrow. It will not be
:06:18. > :06:18.as windy as it has been today, and the band of rain will slowly peter
