A man and a woman have been charged with the attempted murder of a man at a Peterborough allotment last month (June).

The victim, a man in his late 50s, was at his allotment in Burton Street, Eastgate, between 7pm and 8pm on 15 June when he was stabbed multiple times, leaving him in a life-threatening condition.

Cambridgeshire Police say he required extensive medical treatment at the Major Trauma Centre in Addenbrookes’ Hospital, Cambridge, and is now recovering at home.

They were both re-arrested yesterday morning (Monday) and have since been charged with attempted murder and robbery.

They have been remanded in custody to appear at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court today (Tuesday).
