Witnesses told how Tarabi fled the scene after the stabbing but was arrested within 45 minutes of the attack.

He appeared via videolink from prison to hear the sentence and showed no emotion as judge Rupert Overbury told him the crime was so serious only a custodial sentence was justified.

Tarabi admitted wounding with intent at an earlier hearing.

The people who own the site where a juvenile whale became stranded and died say they hope it will be removed tomorrow.

Less then a year ago, nobody could get near the 28-year-old, as he eased his way to an impressive 18 point maximum for the Fen Tigers at Stoke.

In recent weeks though, the Aylesbury born rider has looked a shadow of his former self, and his struggles continued at the weekend against a Young Lions side at West Row.

"He's a confidence rider," Fen Tigers co-promoter James Easter told us, "He'll be alright."

"You often get these guys who can show so much style and speed when they're out in front, but they don't like it when they get roughed up.

"Form changes, class doesn't. You are in and out of form. But he's a class act and he'll come good."

A cordon has been set up to shield the public from the "delicate" removal of a dead whale from a beach.

Suffolk Coastal District Council (SCDC) is working with Suffolk Coastal Norse to get rid of the fin whale carcass which washed up at Felixstowe on Sunday.

Due to how decomposed it is, the whale will be disposed of in bins and taken to an abattoir.

Fiona McConnachie, SCDC communications officer, said hopefully the public will "see none of that".

She added: "Situations like this don't happen very often. When they do, it's a very sad event. We're hoping we can get it quickly done today."

SCDC said it had to wait for authorisation from the Marine Management Organisation and organise specialist equipment before it could be removed today.
