Son pays tribute to ex-Navy Peterborough 'hero' dad

The son of murder victim Paul Knowles has paid an emotional tribute to his “hero” father.

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

Nathan Naylor said today: “My dad was my hero. He spent 22 years and one day in the Royal Navy, fought in the Falklands conflict and the first Gulf War.

“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, where she will appear on 27 November.
