The son of Paul Knowles, who was found dead at his home in Peterborough has today paid an emotional tribute to his “hero” father after the woman charged with murder appeared in court.

Mr Knowles, 56, known as “Knobby”, was found dead at his home in Farriers Court, Peterborough, on Monday night (19 November).

“He was a loving father, son and brother. Such a pure soul and loved by many. Fair winds and calm seas.”

Anne-Marie Burrowes, 52, of Ellindon, Bretton, Peterborough, appeared at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court yesterday (23 November) charged with murder.

She was remanded into custody and the case was adjourned to Cambridge Crown Court on 27 November.
