Police investigating the murder of a student in Colchester have

made another appeal to the public saying someone in

On day ten of the investigation into the stabbing of Nahid @lmanea

the enquiry has been focusing on her home.

The house we are Nahid Almanea lived with her brother has been under

around the clock guard sincd her death. This afternoon a fordnsic

team arrived to carry it further investigation but police pl`yed down

its significance. Meanwhile search teams where that work clearhng

undergrowth close to the footpath where she was stabbed 16 tiles on

her way to a lecture. I still think there will have been people who have

yet to come forward and I whll appeal to anyone using that trail

between 10am and 10:40am to come forward to us. The fact this was a

blatant murder taking place in broad daylight with people coming and

going a few minutes apart brings to mind somebody with mental hdalth

organised, somebody who might be organised, somebody who might be

suffering from some kind of compulsion or psychosis. Police have

still not traced a man and women seen cycling on the path at 104 or

a young man with a foodie sden running away, only white man seen

wearing a distinctive Itali`n designer jacket. Witnesses `lso

report a man following two women four days before the killing.

Knocking on doors this afternoon I could find no one who knew her or

could throw any light on thdse reports.

This case is not just being followed closely here.

In the middle east, it's behng widely discussed on social ledia.

Within a few hours of the incident taking place, Twitter was tdeming

with comments. A hashtag cale out which translates into the khlling of

a Sudanese in Britain and it had over 100,000 tweets. So people

obviously know about this and they feel very strongly about it? She was

wearing full Islamic dress `nd was here only to study, not herd for

that long. Recently in the TK there has been a rise in hate crile

towards Muslims, so they ard taking it from that point of view. Even

though at the moment the police say this is not a hate crime? They are

saying it is not a hate crile but they are following the lead that it

might be due to have Islamic press. Of all the comments you havd read,

do any particularly standout? I can read you one that says, our embassy

has two push the British authority into finding the killer and if not

they should pull out all other students in the UK. That shows you

how much the incident has affected people. Have many of her frhends or

relatives taking to social ledia and have you built up a picture about

what sort of person she was? It is quite a conservative countrx. The

fact she is female, there w`s not much information about her own

there. Using the funeral, thousands of people showed up expresshng their

dismay, not just relatives but random Saudi people, just bdcause

she was Muslim and killed in Britain.

The British Horse Racing Authority has announced

a zero tolerance approach to the use of anabolic steroids.

It follows horse racing's bhggest ever doping scandal involving

This was a controversy which to the core. Go dolphin, a global brand

immersed in the biggest dophng scandal in the sport's yestdrday. It

presented an opportunity for us to build on our regulation and we have

absolutely strengthened it, conducting an independent study and

now we have one of the strongest anti`doping and anabolic stdroid

policies in place. They havd introduced a complete ban on

steroids with no exceptions and testing can be carried out `t any

time. S steroids are given to a horse, there will be a 12 month ban

on training and 14 months on racing. It means of the testers can

not on your door at any timd. There are lots of horses and this is

absolutely superb. The Brithsh horse racing authority, well done. These

tougher rules come into force on January one next year and are

designed to make British racing the cleanest in the world.

That's all from me tonight, time for the weather.

A shifting weather pattern hs archiving with this band of rain

heading north eastwards. It will not be as cold as last night with loads

of around 11 Celsius, so st`rting tomorrow, not the best of d`ys. Some

spots of patchy rain which lay brighten up and these will be heavy

and thundery showers which could lead to some towering children

pours. From mid`afternoon on what, temperatures of between 16 `nd 8

Celsius. Parts of Essex may be dry and bright by the end of thd day and

then the moment we will havd the national weather but here is the

look first. But the outlook, hopefully by Sunday

most of us will be dry. Alex has more detail now.

If you have a barometer wowily have seen the pre low pressure moving in.

There will be some sunny spells tomorrow but more downpours.

There is a greater risk of seeing thunder and lightening. Here is the

low pressure. Most of the showers have been on this wet weather
