Hello and welcome to Look East, with Susie and me.

And former Canaries boss Chris Hughton returns tonight

A woman from Essex who lured her former boyfriend to a remote spot

where he was battered to death with metal poles has

The plot was hatched between Rebecca Ryan and Scott Swift.

He was said to be jealous of her former boyfriend.

A jury at Chelmsford Crown Court was told she agreed to invite

Michael Beckwith, who was a care worker, to a remote spot in Harwich.

Let's get the full story now from our Essex

Michael Beckwith was described as likeable and popular. Last July he

was lured to a secluded area in Harwich were two masked men beat him

with metal poles. The judge described it as a vicious and cut

with the attack in which she stood no chance as the life was battered

out of him. Rebecca Ryan had been engaged to him and was jealous

because she thought he had been texting an ex-girlfriend. She Luton

to the sport he was killed and later called 999 claiming she was an

innocent bystander. There were two men, they were all covered up and I

could not see. But the Judy believes she masterminded the whole thing.

She returned to the scene and spent time almost pretending to tend to

Michael and making comments such as look what you have done that I could

quickly have done to you. To then come back to be scene and pretend

you were concerned for his welfare. Joel Smith, a teenager, was the

second attacker who tagged along with Scott Swift. Michael Beckwith

left with her mother -- left with his mother who died shortly before

the trial began. Michael's murder has taken everything away from us. A

mother who could not take the strain of the trial passed away from a

heart attack just before it started. An uncle from a nephew who never got

to see grow into young man, because we could all share a laugh with a

new we could turn to if we needed help. Both were jailed for life,

Scott Swift a minimum of 24 years, Rebecca Ryan 17. The other attacker

got seven years. Two other people got two and a half years for

perverting the course of justice. an abandoned building project

on the waterfront in Ipswich. Regatta Quay has become a symbol

of the economic crash in 2008. For the best part of a decade

Winerack is that looking forlorn and forgotten. Now the last things are

on the game with ?20 million of funding with two loans with interest

which will be repaid as and when required. 15 million from a

Government fund and the rest from the new Anglia local enterprise

partnership which also uses Government funding. This is public

money and we take it very seriously and the interest we will get on the

loan repayments we can put into other projects. A lot of people will

benefit and not just those living here. Two years ago there were

hopeful signs with local developer John Howard to take on this part --

partly built site would to complete the scheme and put the work out to

tender. It has been frustrating how long it has taken to get started but

now we're getting the tender of things. Happening quite quickly. He

admitted construction costs have risen and bankers unwilling to

commit to this funding is not just pleasing but pivotal. On the scheme

like this what the Government have done is very positive and forward

and without them and the money we ourselves are putting in it would

not happen. This project is was promised so much, almost 150 new

homes,, shall space and 50 new jobs. Hopefully, finally, if all the

developer's ducks end up in a road trip be transformed from total

eyesore to totally eye-catching. -- if the ducks lined up for the

developer. From stagnation too slick and stylish. Fingers crossed.

and the Green Party have been campaigning in Norfolk today ahead

The party sees Norwich as one of its strongholds,

with 10 councillors on the city council.

On the county council, though, it only has three.

Today, the party's candidates for the general election

Norwich South is expected to be a target seat once again.

In 2015 the party came third in the consituency,

The launch of the Green Party manifesto was on one

It was a photocall, really, so rosettes, posters and smile,

The Greens are putting up 34 candidates for the county council

People know what they get when the Greens are elected here.

We have people who stand against cuts, who make sure

we are reducing air pollution and people who are building things

like making sure there is no privatisation in our NHS and looking

The Green Party is also fielding candidates in four constituencies

They are against a hard Brexit, for the NHS and,

on the environment, plan to campaign for better air quality.

At Castle Meadow in Norwich EU air quality limits

have been broken for six years, they say.

The solution is more restrictions on diesel vehicles,

it is zero carbon transport, it is also to get more

Healthy walking and cycling and active travel makes a huge

difference to your personal well-being.

We take air quality very seriously in Norwich

We have already made many achievements and improvement over

the past few years and continue to do that.

We work with the bus companies across all Norfolk to improve

the emissions on their buses, when they are replaced

Having launched their manifesto, the Greens candidates launch

The Greens are keen to woo younger people -

votes at 16, affordable housing, and education are all things

When you have all the parties, in effect, accepting the tuition

Education is a right, not a privilege.

It should be free whether you arefour years old,

14 years old or 40 years old, whether you are a student

If Brexit is the big issue of the general election the Greens

will have to shout loudly to make themselves heard.

But they are out there are now pounding the streets

in a low-carbon and keen to debate the issues as always.

Well, let's pick up on that point about younger voters.

The fact is all the parties need to engage with younger people.

At the EU Referendum last year nearly one in five of registered

The -- these sixth form students are well aware of the upcoming election.

They are across all the hot political topic squabble like most

of the country they do not agree on all the solutions. The reason may be

a lot but no deal being better than a bad deal but no deal would be

catastrophic. We now do not have to worry about what the EU will say.

This man realises how important it is for young people to vote. The

other do not have much chance... Head out to the rest of the College

and other students have not got the same appetite. You're old enough to

vote? Will devote this time round? Probably not. I do not know a lot

about politics so I do not interest myself in elections. Will you vote?

Probably not. Younger people are not showing up to vote is widespread.

During the EU referendum almost 20 in every 118-34 -year-old registered

to vote did not turn up, whereas people over 35 and ten and 100

registered voters did not turn up. That means the votes for all the

people and their issues can be a lot more weight. This was seen in the

referendum result. The people have spoken and we are out. The majority

of young people wanted to remain part of judo but that was drowned

out by all the people generally preferred to leave. -- remain part

of the EU. And that was drowned out by all the people. If they did it on

the internet and you could read through what you will be voting for

it would be a lot easier. If they explained more what they can do for

me and how it would affect me and let me think about how and why I

should vote. There are a lot of potential votes

to be earned for any politicians they can convince this generation to

head to the polls. Let's have a word

with Andrew Sinclair, How significant is this generation

divide among voters? It is very significant number are

concerned it will only get worse in the so-called Brexit election. All

the parties work hard to attract young people but the reality is when

it comes to pulling the most young people do not turn out to vote so

that this why the party 's new policies towards all the voters

would make young people feel even more disillusioned. It is a vicious

circle. I supported is now a scramble to choose candidates? Yes,

a lot of meetings taking place this week. In many parts of the region

Labour, Ukip and the Liberal Democrats have no one in the frame

at the moment and have got to find candidates quickly. For existing MPs

in Chelmsford MP standing down, we know Douglas Carswell is going to

want to watch is Alan Hazlehurst. Last time he had a fight on his

hands on some wondered if he was too old. This time he will be 80 next

month and says he is fit and ready to go. The association will meet

next week. We will have more on the region's

political scene in this Subjects include the county council

elections and the departure It's on at the later time

of 3:15 on BBC One. More than 300 people

have voted unanimously in support of buying the old cottage

hospital in Southwold At a packed meeting last night

people voiced their concern that weekenders had

forced up house prices. Most are now beyond the reach

of many local people. The Save Our Southwold

group has made a formal You are watching prog-mac. Stay with

us for Julie's weekend weather forecast. We live at Carrow Road.

And the food hall manager on top of the world as he takes a leap for

charity -- the football manager. All this week, we've been

meeting some of the special people who are taking part

in Sunday's London Marathon. Tonight, it's the turn

of Ryan Cameron, a PE Ryan has been diagnosed with early

onset Parkinson's disease. He says he will carry on teaching

for as long as he can, and is determined to

complete the Marathon This special needs school in Luton

is full of children with remarkable Appropriately, their PE teacher,

Ryan Cameron, has one of his own. Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease

three years ago at just 31, his decision to run

the London Marathon this weekend I like to think I am

an active person, a positive So even with something with this

I just want to get on with life. People have been asking me

if I'm nervous and I... I have been thinking about this,

obviously, for a while and I have pitched myself to get over

the finish line, whether that is crawling or walking,

but because I have done the mental side of things and psychologically

I know I am going to do it. Last year Ryan was too ill

to make the start line. His grit and positivity has

earned him the admiration Last year he had to pull out

because of his health, and this year there has been ups

and downs and his health has not been great some days,

but he has come back every week, every day, with determination

and I believe he can do it. And for these young people

it is incredibly inspiring. I think people will see

disability as a limitation and we do not believe that here,

we think our children can achieve anything,

what the right support and the right motivation and I think Ryan

is a very good example of that. And he is already looking

to his future sporting ambitions. I am hanging up my running shoes

after the marathon and I am going to move on to cycling,

purely because it is easier for someone with Parkinson's

to cycle that it is more advantageous than running because it

does not affect your joints as much. But for now he is giving

up for this weekend. For 26 miles, inspiring and raising

awareness every step of the way. If you are taking part

on Sunday - good luck. And if you want to share your

pictures of the big day you can Tonight's big match

in the Championship sees Norwich City hosting

league leaders Brighton. A win for Brighton will

confirm them as Champions. So it could be a very happy

return to Carrow Road for the Brighton manager

Chris Hughton. In fact, it's the first

time he's been there He probably would not admit it but

would be a sweet moment for Chris Hughton if Brighton can win tonight.

Sacked three years ago from here somewhat controversially, certainly

the timing was at Brighton this season have beaten all, as an one

more win this season would send them up as champion.

A popular man, passionate, too, Chris Hughton managed Norwich

for nearly two years, 11th in the Premier League

in his first season, sacked in April 2014

Since then he has moved to Brighton, rebuilding his reputation

Victory tonight would seal the title in his first game

Looking forward to it because, irrespective of anything you...

work with a lot of people there, you have a lot of friends

and you always look forward to going back to seeing them,

and of course it is certainly nice to go back there perhaps

And here is the irony - when Hughton left three years ago

Five games to play, many thought his dismissal was harsh.

Others felt they delayed for too long.

I do not think we have got much choice because four points from six

games is relegation form and so we needed to do

To do it with five games to go, I can't quite understand it

but hopefully it will give Neil a good chance to save the club.

Youth coach Neil Adams took charge, he didn't save them,

But Chris Hughton, a respected figure, will be

I am a little bit biased because I like Chris anyway and have

known him for a long time and I think he is

I think he has done a great job and he does it

The motivation for them will the their season has not turned

They are all playing for that bit of pride

with a new manager coming in, making a point, playing up

against a very good team in ourselves and wanting to win.

From Brighton, the Championship is at stake.

Norwich fans would not want to deny him but delay him,

Widely regarded of one of the true gentleman and football, as this

month, the follow-on, -- from Norwich defender. No one would

begrudge him his success? Definitely not. He has proved over the past few

years he is a good manager and has gone down to Brighton and done a

magnificent job, fully deserved and I'm sure they will get promoted as

champions but hopefully not tonight. Not very Norwich fans were

enthralled with his conservative approach when he was here but at

Brighton he has been a very entertaining. I used to store has

virtues and felt the supporters and the board got it wrong. -- extol his

virtues. People said he was pragmatic in his approach but he

played with two wingers all the time which I consider pragmatic --

attacking. But he has done the same down at Brighton and has scored

goals, which she was doing here. I think the board should go -- showed

a lack of foresight and got rid of them to quickly and gave into the

supporters, as it were. I think if they held on longer he would have

brought the same success to Norwich. It was 5-0 in the reverse fixture,

the public about that. They are full of confidence at the moment what is

knowledge are very inconsistent at the moment which has been their

season, very in and out and nothing sustainable. Thank you. You can

follow tonight's match on your local radio station.

If you watch professional football you will have seen different

managers chewing aggressively, screaming instructions,

It's all bout pressure, and it means they can

But how about jumping out of a plane at 13,000 feet?

Luton Town's Nathan Jones has done just that, taking part in a skydive

It took place at the Hinton airfield in Northamptonshire.

Our Sports Editor Jonathan Park was there.

On the sidelines, Nathan Jones usually control.

But it is a different story when there is a parachute involved.

I think the apprehension is getting up there,

But as long as you get down safely I don't mind.

There is a first time for everything.

And for Luton's manager at least he had another rookie by his side -

It came from a drunken bid at the Luton Town Christmas dinner.

I put my hands air the and bid for a skydive with Nathan Jones.

With an Luton flying high, this was a nice diversion,

at 13,000 feet, from the pressures of the promotion run in.

My life is in this geezer's hands here.

Conditions at the airfield in Northamptonshire were perfect.

Time now for Nathan and Mark to head skywards.

That is absolutely mental, jumping out of a plane.

Nothing prepares you for when you just exit the plane.

Now I understand why people say, that people have done it.

I'm very proud of him and I am pleased he is back down safely.

So one ticked off the bucket list and thousands raised for the club's

charity Level Trust, which helps young people living

To have someone as high-profile as Nathan Jones jumping out

of an aeroplane for us this afternoon really is the icing

on the cake of that partnership and all the club has done for us.

Well, job done, now going up, not down, is all that matters

to all of them although I have to say the landing was not as good as

euros! -- not as good as yours. It was lovely weather but I have a

feeling, will stay that way? I have a lot to talk about. Let's start

with this morning, a beautiful sunrise. For most of us we had guys

like this from most of the day and you can see why the satellite

picture -- skies like this. That will change overnight with a cold

front moving down bringing outbreaks of mainly light and patchy rain. Not

for everyone and not amounting to match. Because that is a lot of

cloud the frost for the night with light of a Babel winds. This is

called from bringing the overnight rain quickly clears to the south.

That leaves us with cloudy skies, a a showers from the north-west at a

block of dry weather -- a few showers. Although on the North

Norfolk coast. We finish with a few showers but a block of dry weather.

That is Saturday, Sunday with high-pressure buildings are many of

us it is another dry day, perhaps an isolated shower but a lot of fine

and dry weather and hopefully some sunshine. Highs of 14 Celsius. A

chilly start on Sunday, possibly frost for some of us. That goes from

London also for the London Marathon. But conditions are looking rather

good for that light winds and a fairly dry conditions. If the cloud

breaks we might see more in the way of sunshine. All in all not too bad

at all is good luck to everyone taking part. That is the weekend.

Some showers on Saturday but largely dry and most of us Sunday will be

another dry day. Monday is a cloudy start with some spots of rain, that

should clear and sunny spells develop and as the sun comes out

that could trigger one or two showers. Monday night will be

bitterly cold. Temperatures could get down below freezing and Tuesday

is a very different day. Feeling better be cold, winter showers of

rain, sleet and possibly even snow which is not that unusual for April,

actually, but quite a shock me think about balmy conditions we had the

last few weeks. Goodbye. Why didn't we go

to the library today? Because we don't have

a library any more. Why? The school's had to make big cuts.

Cuts like with a knife, miss? No, it means that the school

can't afford to pay for things like the library any more or shows

or books or school visits.
