John Cansfield, of Melton Road, Wellingborough appeared before magistrates on September 29 charged with attempted murder.

Court documents show Cansfield entered no plea at the short hearing at Northampton Magistrates’ Court and his case was sent straight to the crown court where he will appear again in early November.

He is being held in custody ahead of his next hearing.
