A man and a woman have been charged in connection 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.
He required extensive medical treatment at the Major Trauma Centre in Addenbrookes’ Hospital, Cambridge, and is now recovering at home.
A 36-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were both arrested at their home in Welland, Peterborough, on 16 June but released on bail pending further enquiries.
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).
**UPDATE**
They have both been remanded in prison until their next court hearing at Cambridge Crown Court on 30 July.
