Tribute to ‘hero’ Falklands veteran found dead at Peterborough home

Tributes have been paid to a ‘hero’ Falklands veteran found dead at his Cambridgeshire home. Paul Knowles, also known as Knobby, was found at the address in Farriers Court, Peterborough[1], on Monday night (November 19). His son, Nathan Naylor, has now paid tribute to the 56-year-old.

In a tribute issued through Cambridgeshire Police on Friday, November 24, he praised his father as a ‘pure soul’. Nathan Naylor said today: “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.”

A murder investigation has been launched[4] following the death. A Cambridgeshire[5] Police spokesperson said: “Anne-Marie Burrowes, 52, of Ellindon, Bretton, Peterborough, appeared at Huntingdon[6] Magistrates’ Court yesterday (23 November) charged with murder. She was remanded into custody and the case was adjourned to Cambridge Crown Court on 27 November.”
