Martin Brookes Oakham Rutland: Oakham Murder Suspects Charged with killing Neil Corby to appear before Judge at Leicester Crown Court in the morning

Floral tributes have been left outside the Oakham flat where Neil Corby, 42, was found dead last week.

Police were called to Gaol Street on Thursday morning where they found Mr Corby’s body.

Adam Barker and Jamie North appeared at Loughborough Magistrates Court on Saturday accused of his murder on Wednesday, September 19.

Adam Barker, 33, of Willoughby Gardens, Oakham, and Jamie North, 33, of Glen Drive, Oakham, were remanded in custody. No pleas were entered.

Both men appeared again at Loughborough Magistrate Court this morning. They were both remanded to appear before Leicester Crown Court in the morning, when a Judge is likely to set a date for a hearing.

Jamie North is also charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm to another man.

Adam Barker is also charged with unlawful wounding causing grievous bodily harm to another man.

I was going to publish some of the suspects Face Book post but I post like "The Pigs are Wankers" is
a little bit to colourful even for my blog.

Leicestershire Constabulary have no plans to release the cause of death at this stage, they tell me they
have produced a file for the coroner, who will release the cause of death at the end of the inquest.

HM Coroner for Rutland & North Leicestershire District is not as open and transparent as HM Coroner for Leicester City & South Leicestershire District there is no web site publishing listings.

When I telephoned the office a person who was as helpful as they could be, said the inquest was likely to be opened behind closed doors today and if I call back tomorrow they could provide me with details of the public hearing. Which will be held in Loughborough.

Police revisited the murder scene today

People say nothing happens in Oakham in the seven years I have lived here I am aware of a least

6 tragic deaths, some suicide others drug related deaths and the murder of a police woman.

This case is more noticeable to people, because it is a main street people pass on the way to

Tesco and not a side street.

I walked to the areas of town were the suspects live, a nice sunny day people gardening and

pretty quiet until two men came along who broke the silence, more than just a bit merry.

A COUPLE say they are lucky to be alive after they awoke to find their kitchen on fire.

Jamie North and Emma Baum were in their flat in Waltham House, Glen Drive, Oakham along with 15-month-old daughter Poppy when they were heard a banging noise at 11.30pm on Tuesday.

Jamie thought they had left a door open but when they checked they were shocked to find their toaster, fridge freezer and kitchen units were on fire.

Emma, 26 quickly used a washing up bowl to throw water over the flames and put them out.

She said: “As soon as the flames were out, Jamie ran into to get Poppy from her room and we got out of the flat.

“We got our neighbours to evacuate too, and I called 999 and two fire engines and an ambulance were here very quickly.”

The couple and young Poppy were lucky to only suffer from minor smoke inhalation from the blaze but were left very shaken.

Describing the drama, Emma said: “I just froze and couldn’t believe it. I was in total shock.

“I was shouting ‘get water, get water’.

“I managed to get to the washing up bowl and just throw that over it which luckily put it out.

“We’re all lucky to be alive because we’re quite heavy sleepers and our smoke alarm didn’t go off.

“I know you’re not supposed to throw water onto electricals but I just did what I thought was right and the fire brigade said I did a really good job in putting it out.”

Jamie, 32, said: “I was just so shocked and froze when I saw the flames everywhere.

“I then went to look for towels and before I knew it, Emma had thrown the water over it and put it out.

“She was a hero.”

He added: “I’ve just been made redundant from my job and we don’t have insurance
