It will be a cold start to Saturday, but any mist and fog should quickly clear to leave a largely sunny day. 

There may be a bit more patchy cloud in the east for a time. Light winds and highs inland of 18C (64F).

A man from Cambridge accused of murdering his wife has admitted smothering her to death.

Muhammad Malik, 36, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility at Cambridge Crown Court after attacking his 32-year-old wife, Asia Tufail, in November.

Police and paramedics attended the property on Perne Road after Malik rung the emergency services saying he had attacked her.

She was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital but died of her injuries. 

A post-mortem examination concluded she died of asphyxia.

He will be sentenced on 19 May.

A council says it will look to get a village's red telephone box back after a communication error saw it wrongly removed.

The box, pictured above, was removed from the village of Castor, near Peterborough, on Wednesday.

BT said a notice of its removal was posted on the kiosk in September, asking people to get in touch with Peterborough City Council with their responses in 90 days.

The company said a letter signifying the intention to remove the kiosk was also posted to the council.

The telecoms giant said the authority received and signed for the letter on 10 October and it received no news or objections back, so went ahead with the removal.

The council could neither confirm nor deny the letter was received.

A council spokesman said: "BT confirmed a letter was sent, however no-one in the council's planning department has knowledge of receiving it.

"We will endeavour to work with BT and the parish council to get the red telephone box reinstated in Castor. 

"In addition, we've now also objected to the removal of some other phone boxes including in Southorpe, Wansford and Ufford."

The council will now look to take ownership of the remaining boxes, using the  Adopt a Kiosk, external  scheme.

BT confirmed no calls were made from the Castor box in the 12 months leading up to last September.

The neighbour of 28-year-old Andrew Hasler who saved a woman from being stabbed to death has been commended for his life-saving actions with a High Sheriff's Award and £1,000.

Matthew Sharpe, 40, has been jailed for stabbing Mr Hasler to death and for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Charna Knights.

Cambridge Crown Court heard one of Mr Hasler's neighbours had gone round to the house after he heard a commotion going on inside.

He was confronted by Sharpe who was on top of Ms Knights, repeatedly stabbing her while Mr Hasler lay severely injured on the floor.

The neighbour managed to pull Sharpe off the woman and kick the knife out of his hand before he fled.

Det Insp Lucy Thomson said: "Charna suffered multiple stab wounds and thankfully made a recovery, however medics were unable to save Andrew.

"I would like to pay tribute to the selfless bravery of Andrew's next-door neighbour who put his own life at risk in order to help Charna.

"His actions that day ultimately saved her life."

We've just heard from Cambridge Crown Court that a 40-year-old man has been jailed for stabbing a man to death and attempting to kill his ex-girlfriend.

Matthew Sharpe, from Eynesbury, St Neots, was arrested on 8 January after officers were called to a violent incident at the home of Andrew Hasler, 28, on Houghton Road, St Ives.

On arrival they found Mr Hasler and Charna Knights, 27, from Huntingdon, had been brutally attacked with a knife. 

Mr Hasler could not be saved and died at the scene, but Ms Knights survived after she was rescued by a neighbour.

Police said the neighbour heard a commotion and managed to pull Sharpe off Ms Knights and kick the knife out of his hand before restraining him, but he managed to get away.

Sharpe was then stopped by police at a bridge over the River Ouse in the town and he jumped into the river. He was pulled out and found to have self-inflicted injuries.

He pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder at a hearing on 10 March. 

Today he was sentenced to life in jail with a minimum term of 25 years for the killing and 20 years for the attempted murder, to run concurrently.

A Cambridgeshire company that converts old farming machinery to clear landmines says new mines are being laid faster than countries can clear them.

Armtrac, based in Burwell, has just completed 60 new armoured vehicles, which are now on their way to parts of the world previously affected by war.

Five are going to Columbia, one to Kurdistan and three bigger machines to Nigeria. Tunisia is looking at getting one too. 

The machines, which are remote-controlled, have either titanium spikes or hammers on the front that rip through the ground. Any mines will either explode or get ripped to pieces.

The vehicles range from £40,000 to £500,000 in price.

They are much smaller than they used to be, meaning they can be carried by helicopter or thrown into inaccessible areas.

Armtrac designs the machines so once they have completed mine clearance they can then be adapted to do a range of tasks, including planting seeds, helping construct roads and digging for pipelines or wells.

The company is helping a global drive, supported by Prince Harry, to help rid the world of landmines by 2025. The government is committing £100m to fund the drive.

Philip Juggs, who leads the machine design at Armtrac, said "as quick as we can clear them, other countries are laying them in the ground". 

"It's going to take many years to clear them," he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

It is thought the slogans were painted as a protest against the high cost of homes in Cambridge.

Work to paint over Latin graffiti daubed across luxury Cambridge homes in protest at the city's housing crisis has begun.

The graffiti on four £1.25m five-bedroom houses overlooking the River Cam and Stourbridge Common will cost "at least" £4,000 to clean, the developer said.

They were  painted with the words Locus in Domos Loci Populum  on Tuesday.

It's thought the vandals intended the phrase to mean "local homes for local people".

Cleaning will take two days and the £4,000 bill could rise "substantially" if it does not come off straight away, developer HC Moss (Builders) Ltd said.
