Murder Probe After Pensioner Is Found Dead

A murder inquiry has been launched after the body of a pensioner was found at his home in Cambridgeshire.

It is believed that the 76-year-old widower - who police have not yet named - was the victim of a burglary that went wrong.

Police have recovered a car thought to have been stolen from his house in Chittering.

His body was found at around 12.30pm on Sunday.

Officers then found his missing Rover 75 estate, registration BJ51 CJV, around five miles away in the village of Milton.

A Cambridgeshire Police spokesman confirmed that the death is now being treated as murder.

Detectives are appealing for anyone who was in the Chittering area after 6pm on Saturday and saw the car or anything suspicious to call police.

Detective Chief Inspector Chris Mead said: "We are keen to hear from anyone who saw the car between the time it was taken and when it was left in Church Lane, Milton, later that night.

"The car has significant mechanical problems and may have made a lot of noise as it was being driven. It is also unlikely to have reached any great speed."

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
