A pig, whose owners have been given notice that she needs to be re-homed, is heading to pastures new.

Darren Pettit bought Reuben for his wife Gemma, after it was suggested owning a pet might help with her mental health issues, and he thought "rather than a dog or a cat, why not a pig?"

Sadly, following a breakdown in communications with his local housing association, Darren's been told that Reuben has to go.

This tale (tail?) has a happy ending though. Not only is Reuben being rehomed, her new owners, Rachel Betts and her family in Stonham Aspal, say Darren and his wife can go and visit.

How creatures from English folklore have inspired writers through the centuries.

As Ipswich Town hope to break their run of four 1-1 stalemates when they take on Wolves at Portman Road  later, midfielder Cole Skuse is hoping he might double his scoring tally for the club, by finding the back of the net.

The 30-year-old admits that goalscoring has never been his strong point: "I’ve only scored 10 career goals in nigh on 500 appearances, so it's not as if I've come to Ipswich a prolific goal scorer."

There have only been three occasions so far this year, when Town have managed to score more than one goal in a match.

Ipswich Town host Wolves at Portman Road tonight hoping to end a run of four consecutive 1-1 draws.

Midfielder Emyr Huws is a doubt with a hamstring injury.

Town boss Mick McCarthy has previously said the Welsh international has expressed an interest in joining Ipswich permanently. 

He thinks Huws, on loan from Cardiff, will be surplus to requirements at his parent club: "I think Neil [Warnock, Cardiff manager] has signed a new contract and if the feeling's still the same, I kinda know what'll be happening with him."

Trains are running again on the Ipswich-Felixstowe line, albeit slightly on the drag, after services were all cancelled earlier this morning.

A bullet casing has been recovered from a property in Nacton Crescent in Ipswich, after a second firearms incident in the town.

The victims reported that a gun had been fired at the front door of their property. 

No-one was injured.

Three people from Ipswich, a 32-year-old woman, and two men, aged 21 and 20, arrested on suspicion of possession of firearms following an earlier incident at Fuchsia Lane, are being questioned at the Martlesham Police Investigation Centre.

Police are exploring the possibility that these two incidents are linked to an arson attack at a property in Dandalan Close on the other side of town yesterday evening.

A solicitor representing the family of a seven-year-old boy who died after treatment at a London hospital, says she has "never known" such a sad case.

James Dwerryhouse, who lived near Ipswich, died after vital equipment needed to monitor his sleep apnoea was switched off when he was at the Portland Hospital in the capital.

His family chose to bring James back to the Treehouse Hospice, external in the town for his life-support to be withdrawn, as he'd previously enjoyed the respite care he'd had there.

Rosamund Rodes-Kemp, from Hudgell Solicitors, explained there's a police investigation, an internal investigaton at the hospital, and an inquest has been opened and adjourned.

She anticipates it could be "quite some time" before there's any conclusion to the case: "We can't envisage the inquest being reopened until the police finish their investigation and the police investigation can take quite some time. 

"It is a very distressing situation for the family and I'm very much hoping the inquest, whenever it happens, will be able to address the questions they still have."

The Suffolk Senior Cup final will be the only county cup final held at Ipswich Town's Portman Road stadium this season.

Town have cited renovation works and the forthcoming Sir Elton John concert as the main reasons more could not be held at their ground. 

The Premier Cup final, Women's Cup final, and five others will be held instead at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, external in Colchester. 

Nick Garnham from the Suffolk FA said: "We went down, we had a look, we were very impressed with what Colchester were able to offer us."

It's just been announced here at Ipswich Crown Court, that the Weybread murder trial is being adjourned until Wednesday, when the closing speeches will be made.

The defendant, who denies murdering Peter and Sylvia Stuart, claims to be Vital Dapi from Albania, while the prosecution say he is Ali Qazimaj, also from Albania.

I'm heading to Ipswich Crown Court for the latest in the trial of a man accused of murdering Peter and Sylvia Stuart, who lived at Weybread near Harleston.

The couple were reported missing from their house on 3 June and Mr Stuart's body was found later that day in neighbouring woodland. The last recorded sighting of them alive was at a farm shop in Pulham Market on 29 May. 

Mrs Stuart's body has not been found and she is presumed dead.

A man who prosecutors say is Ali Qazimaj, 43, from Albania and formerly of Tilbury in Essex, is in the dock.

He denies murder and denies he is Ali Quzimaj, claiming he is a 44-year-old Albanian called Vital Dapi.

The trial began four weeks ago and we have heard the  prosecution and defence cases .

We are expecting closing speeches followed by the judge's summing up today.

Signalling problems have led to services being suspended between Ipswich and Felixstowe.

Tickets are being accepted on local bus routes.

The all-time list for first-week sales has Adele 's 25 and Oasis 's Be Here Now at joint top with 800,000 each.

We bet if Liam had known that in 1997, he would've nipped into Woolworths and bought another copy himself.

Anyway,  here are some more impressive stats about Ed's third record.

Some people do find roundabouts confusing. Not many, but some...

However, police put this wrong-way driver's errant ways down to the fact he was using his mobile phone when he was caught on Victoria Road in Lowestoft.

"A different approach to a roundabout," they wrote on Twitter. 

The driver was issued with a traffic offence report.

Police say they are "hopeful" they can link all  three incidents overnight in Ipswich:

• 19:00 Reports of gunshots being fired in Fuchsia Lane, off Foxhall Road
• 19:30 Arson attack at a flat in Dandalan Close, off Bramford Road
• 20:35 Mini Cooper stopped at Alnesbourn Crescent, in Ravenswood and three occupants arrested in connection with Fuchsia Lane incident; firearm recovered nearby
• 01:37 Shot fired into family home in Nacton Crescent, off Nacton Road

Insp Phil Enderby tells BBC Suffolk: "We do believe that the suspects and the victims in these incidents all know each other."
