The son of man murdered in his Peterborough home has paid tribute to his father, describing him a “hero”.  

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

His son, Nathan Naylor, released the tribute through Cambridgeshire Police.  

He said: “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 (November 23) charged with murder.  

She was remanded into custody and the case was adjourned to Cambridge Crown Court on November 27.
