in a ferocious attack in Colchester went before a news conference today | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
to appeal for help in finding the killer. She told reporters: "The | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
maniac who killed my son is still out there." Jim Attfield was 33 | :01:17. | :01:19. | |

public for any information they may have that could help the police with | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
their enquiries. This to me seems a senseless and horrendous attack on a | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
gentle, vulnerable young man. So please, if anyone saw my son on | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Friday, please come forward. Somebody somewhere knows solething. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |

remains sealed off. A tent still covering the spot close to Castle | :02:26. | :02:28. | |

are said to have been found in the river code and in a nearby boating | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
lake. So far, there is no clear motive for the murder, and police | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
are unsure whether they are searching for a killer or khllers. | :03:01. | :03:01. | |
searching for a killer or killers. Tonight, a 38`year`old man from | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Colchester has been arrested in connection with the investigation, | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
but police have stressed information from the public is key to | :03:08. | :03:08. | |

As Kim said in that report, Jim s As Kim said in that report, Jim s | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
life was turned upside down by an accident. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
He was so badly hurt, when he came out of a coma, he didn't evdn | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
out of a coma, he didn't even remember he had five childrdn. | :03:30. | :03:30. | |
out of a coma, he didn't evdn remember he had five children. His | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
balance was affected, he lived in sheltered accommodation, and today, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
he was described as gentle. When I spoke to his mother this afternoon, | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
she started by telling me about that accident. The accident happened four | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
years ago this month. He was leaving a part of it near where he was | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
living at the time, and we `re not living at the time, and we `re not | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
exactly sure whether he stepped into the road, or whether he stumbled | :03:53. | :03:53. | |
into the road, but he was hht by a into the road, but he was hit by a | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
car coming along at 30 miles an hour. Obviously, he hit the bonnet, | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
and rolled over, and he sustained a severe head injuries will stop so he | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
nearly died then? Yes, he w`s almost nearly died then? Yes, he was almost | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
dead at the scene of the accident. So he lived in sheltered | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
accommodation and loved to sing He loved to sing it, yes. He did love | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
his karaoke. We went over one evening, me and my older datghter, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
and we just sat there all evening singing karaoke. I don't know what | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the neighbours must have thought! It sounded like a cat 's' chorts, | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
sounded like a cat 's' chorus, probably. He came through that awful | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
accident four years ago, and then this happens. Yes, he had been | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
this happens. Yes, he had bden through so much already. I just | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
can't take it in, really. Hd through so much already. I just | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
can't take it in, really. He had can't take it in, really. Hd had | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
been through all that, and was just starting to get his life back | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
together, and he was enjoying his life. As far as we knew, he was | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
enjoying his life, and he used to walk up and go to his karaoke and do | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
things like that. And then this happens. It just doesn't make any | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
sense to me at all. When yot happens. It just doesn't make any | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
sense to me at all. When you think sense to me at all. When yot think | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
about the violence of the attack, do you think about what he must have | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
gone through? I try not to. I do try not to think of that. But wd did | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
not to think of that. But we did visit the crime scene, and took a | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
little bit of comfort from the fact of where Jim was, he would have | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
loved to have been. What do you think of somebody who could do | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
something like that to somebody as gentle as Jim? I don't think it s a | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
person. It's an animal that would do that. No normal human being would do | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
something like that. To anybody let something like that. To anybody let | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
alone to somebody as vulnerable as alone to somebody as vulner`ble as | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Jim. There's no excuse for that sort of violence at all. And if somebody | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
knows something about this, what would you say to them? Whatdver | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
would you say to them? Whatever their suspicion is, just cole | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
their suspicion is, just come forward and tell the police, because | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
there must be somebody that knows something. Especially after seeing | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
the news reports. People must know that if somebody's behaviour has | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
changed, if they saw them Saturday changed, if they saw them Saturday | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
morning, and their behaviour suddenly started changing, it | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
suddenly started changing, ht doesn't matter what you think, just | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
come forward. Jim, the first time, got better. Would he have fought | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
back, do you think you macro he would have tried his hardest, yes. | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
But the way I see it, if someone would have tried his hardest, yes. | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
But the way I see it, if soleone had But the way I see it, if someone had | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
a grudge against Jim, they could have just pushed him over, and he | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
have just pushed him over, `nd he would have fallen over because of | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
would have fallen over becatse of his balance issues. He was not | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
strong. He was not very strong, he was quite weak, physically, so they | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
could have just knocked him over, basically. They needn't have done | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
basically. They needn't havd done what they did. It is just beyond | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
belief that somebody would do that to anyone, let alone someond | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
belief that somebody would do that to anyone, let alone someone like | :07:09. | :07:08. | |
to anyone, let alone someond like Jim. What is your lasting memory | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
to anyone, let alone someone like Jim. What is your lasting mdmory of | :07:12. | :07:11. | |
Jim. What is your lasting memory of Jim? Karaoke. Jim singing on the | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
karaoke. Thank you. Thank you. If you can help that police inquiry, | :07:20. | :07:22. | |

The eastern counties have spent much of the day under a blanket of smog. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
At its peak, pollution levels reached six on a ten`point scale, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
not as high as forecast earlier. The air is expected to clear in the next | :07:44. | :07:55. | |
24 hours. Ipswich docks this morning, the town plugged in a murky | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
mist. This is right. A perfdct mist. This is right. A perfect | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
recipe for very high air pollution. Fine dust whipped up in the Sahara | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
was carried in the atmosphere, mixed with industrial pollution from | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
central Europe. Both were c`rried central Europe. Both were c`rried | :08:08. | :08:11. | |

in East Anglia has caused the air quality dip in the last couple of | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
days. In a sense, a perfect storm. Yes, with the winter light, there is | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
nothing to disperse the pollution, so it will stay until the whnds pick | :08:33. | :08:34. | |

cars on the forecourt. Our head valet pulled off one of the covers | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
from the cars that protect them from the elements, and within minutes | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
taking it off, there was a layer of dust. It is just unprecedented. We | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
have really never seen anything like that before. The high levels of air | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
pollution we have experienced that before. The high levels of air | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
pollution we have experiencdd today pollution we have experiencdd today | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
have also been compound or by mother nature. It is springtime, and | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
currently the air is laden with pollen from trees and flowering | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
crops. Few who lived through it will forget the great London smog of | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
1952. It was blamed for thotsands of 1952. It was blamed for thotsands of | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
premature deaths. In recent days, scientists have seen levels of | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
nitrogen oxide rise steadilx, scientists have seen levels of | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
nitrogen oxide rise steadily, but a nitrogen oxide rise steadily, but a | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
repeat of 1952, this is not. London reached their work experience | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
pollution levels than 100 times what pollution levels than 100 thmes what | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
they are in these conditions today. There is respite in sight. Tomorrow, | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
pollution levels are forecast to fall from very high to hide. By | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Friday, a change in the wind should clear the remaining pollution away. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
This afternoon I spoke to Dr Kate King, from Public Health England. I | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
started by asking how seriots this pollution was from a health point of | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
view. Well, over the last couple of days, we know that the air pollution | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
has reached levels that are officially categorised as vdry high. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
officially categorised as very high. That means that they can potentially | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
affect particularly people who already have underlying health | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
problems, especially lung or heart problems such as asthma, bronchitis, | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
or angina. For most people who are generally in good health, it is not | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
likely to cause anything more than perhaps an irritation, a sore | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
throat, perhaps so, inflamed eyes. And what it is about the pollution | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
that actually causes the problem for people with lung or heart problems? | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
There is a variety of things in the air pollution, particles and gases | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
such as nitrogen dioxide, which cause irritation deep in thd lungs, | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
cause irritation deep in the lungs, which mean that the small ahrways | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
which mean that the small airways close up unless air gets into the | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
lungs, and less oxygen gets into our bodies. So that is how it c`uses | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
bodies. So that is how it causes problems, by essentially stopping | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
blood air flow and oxygen flow into the body. And what advice would you | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
give people who are suffering from it? People who know they have got | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
underlying health problems should be using whatever their normal | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
treatments are to the maximum treatments are to the maximtm | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
effectiveness, so if an asthmatic person has prevented inhalers, make | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
sure they are using those effectively and using their | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
relieving inhalers as much as they need, and similarly, people with | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
angina should be using their medication as they need to tse | :12:10. | :12:10. | |
angina should be using their medication as they need to use it. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
People who know they might run into problems, all the people whose lung | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
capacity is affected by their age, capacity is affected by their age, | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
they may find they are more comfortable staying indoors, or at | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
least, when they are outside, comfortable staying indoors, or at | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
least, when they are outsidd, acting in a more leisurely manner, | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
perhaps. Avoid strenuous activity while air pollution levels are high. | :12:31. | :12:31. | |
while air pollution levels `re high. Thank you very much. | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
And of course, we will get the outlook for the next couple of days | :12:39. | :12:39. | |

sustainable way have been ptblished today. The first part concentrates | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
on the East Coast from Flamborough head near Bridlington to Felixstowe | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
in Suffolk. East of England was chosen because of its range of | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
marine activities, including wind farms. There will be 11 plans | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
covering the whole country by 2 21. Lots more to come tonight, including | :13:02. | :13:10. | |

debating whether the UK should be in or out of Europe. This region does | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
more trade with Europe than anywhere else, and yet, if the polls are to | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
be believed, we are more Eurosceptic than anywhere else the country. Our | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is in Brussels now. So, | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
Andrew, why are we so Eurosceptic? Well, tonight's debate will be | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
widely watched over here. I know at least three debate parties taking | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
place. The pub across the road has built up a big screen for the night. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
It really matters to people in Brussels whether we stay or go, and | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
even though these forthcoming European elections aren't about | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
whether we stay or go that that is down to Westminster and a possible | :14:18. | :14:21. | |

point out that 55% of our trade is with the EU. To most people here at | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
the European Parliament, it makes complete sense for us to be part of | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
Europe. It benefits each family in Europe. It benefits each family in | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
the East of England by ?3,000 a year. That is the value of the extra | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
trade that we bring. Not Labour saying that, not even a polhtician | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
saying that, not even a politician saying that. That's what Brhtish | :15:35. | :15:35. | |
saying that. That's what British business, the CBI says. But critics | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
point out we pay far more to hear in tax than we ever get back. The | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
they believe the European Commission and other institutions like the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Court of Human Rights have too much of a say in our lives. The political | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
commentator Simon Heffer, he lives commentator Simon Heffer, he lives | :15:52. | :15:55. | |

could have paid for it ourselves. I'd rather have that money spent | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
here, and I'd rather the people I elect to govern me decided how to | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
spend it. And even here in Brussels, there are people who agree with him. | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
I think we could do a lot better I think we could do a lot better | :16:12. | :16:15. | |

No, I don't think we would. We would have full access to the EU single | :16:20. | :16:23. | |

most people here want us to stay in Europe. But opponents believe the | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
argument is going their way. You know, there are dozens of facts | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
and figures traded in this debate. Most of them are actually true. It | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
is true that we pay around ?50 million a day to Europe. It is true, | :17:07. | :17:12. | |

Last night we reported how hmportant Last night we reported how important | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
sugar production is to the region's economy. British Sugar is planning | :17:43. | :17:46. | |

production. And that's despite the production. And that's desphte the | :17:48. | :17:50. | |

discovering it in them the lead India. Brown sugar has more calories | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
because it contains more water. Many processed foods have hidden sugar, | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
even if they are not sweet. Also does contain four calories per gram. | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
When you compare that with fat, at nine calories per gram, it is less | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
nine calories per gram, it hs less than half. It is that balance of | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
calories in and out that is important in our diets, not just | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
demonising one ingredient or even added sugars. British Sugar, based | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
in our region, is investing ?50 million this year alone to increase | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
production. ?300 million will be spent over the next decade. Experts | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
say it will lead to a 20% reduction in the price of sugar, fuelling the | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
obesity epidemic. That probably obesity epidemic. That probably | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
won't mean that consumers whll obesity epidemic. That prob`bly | :19:57. | :19:57. | |
won't mean that consumers will buy won't mean that consumers will buy | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
more in the form of a bag, but it probably means they will sell more | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
to producers, who will probably put more as an ingredient, not only as a | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
sweetener, but into a wide range of foods. So if more sugar means | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
cheaper sugar, tempting manufacturers to put extra hn | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
manufacturers to put extra in products, it will be harder for us | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
to control how much of it wd eat. It's been confirmed today that | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
players from Norwich City Football Club are to reimburse their fans who | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
travelled to Swansea for last Saturday's league game. The Canaries | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
lost the match 3`0 in a performance condemned as dismal by those who | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
witnessed it. 900 away supporters made the 12`hour round trip from | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
Norfolk. Adult tickets were ?20. Michael Bailey, who covers sport for | :20:44. | :20:46. | |

So, whether players forced hnto So, whether players forced hnto | :20:51. | :20:56. | |

bit of both. You have to treat what bit of both. You have to treat what | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
they said after the game genuinely. I think they were disappointed at | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
how they performed, and that those away fans travelled the length and | :21:06. | :21:08. | |

soon as you see a spear, cut it Let it grow out for a couple of years, | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
cut it very lightly, and after two to three years, you'll have | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
asparagus beds that will last you for ten, 15 years. Asparagus is an | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
East Anglian success story. We're eating more and more of it, and at | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
places like St John's, they're happy to produce more. If you want to try | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
it, don't delay. The season is short, and ends on June 21. | :24:45. | :24:54. | |

increasing through the afternoon, and this may just produce a few | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
spots of light rain or drizzle. Perhaps it will come in the form of | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
