CEN report (on their web site[1]) that "a man suffering serious injuries was
found in Camkin(sic) Road, Cambridge, last night. He has been taken to
Addenbrooke's hospital. Police have cordoned off the area and are
investigating the incident."
BTW CEN also claim that there was also a stabbing in "Kingsway, Cambridge"
outside a block of flats. I can't find a Kingsway in Cambridge in my A-Z,
although there is one in Histon. Anyone know of one in Cambridge, with a
block of flats?
[1] http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/ - always a good place to look for this
sort of question, first update at around midday I think.

Kingsway _is_ the block of flats.

... in Histon? I thought it might be from the map. Methinks CEN is relying
on police reports and not local knowledge.

Ah. That makes more sense. A stabbing in Histon would be an event. One there
less so. I wonder if they're related? It's not far from there to Campkin
Road ...

No, sorry, I wasn't clear. Kingsway is the name of the block of flats,
not of a road. It's between Gilbert Road and Arbury Road, probably
slightly nearer the Arbury Road end, and slightly nearer to Histon Road
than Milton Road, but pretty near the centre of the region bounded by
those four.

It faces the corner of Carlton Way, Mere Way and Alex Wood road, just

Blimey Paul, 2+2=? That sort of speculation is a bit rash,
especially in a public place.
Anyway, FWIW...
The Kingsway flats are at the junction of
Carlton Way, Mere Way and Alex Wood Rd.

What I saw yesterday (Thursday) lunchtime from the bus on my way to
work, suggests more than that. It was a largish police presence on the
corner of Campkin/Arbury Road/Northfield Avenue, with the grass area on
the corner of Northfield, by the bus stop, cordoned off, and a little
further down Campkin road, at least two police up ladders searching over
the tops of front porches.

Latest news is that the man has now died. :-(
Police are trying to trace his last movements, apparently he was shopping in
the Grafton Centre in the afternoon and in the Snow Cat at some point in the
evening.

If enough people read it and tell their mates
in a "I heard that..." fashion, it _becomes_
the truth, when, in fact it has no justification.

The FAQ has a very different status from an individual's posting: an
FAQ is the broad consensus view of members of a group, and thus is
relatively reliable. Indeed, I reckon that some of the Usenet FAQs,
especially the technical ones, are the most reliable information
you'll find anywhere.

This would be the Sunflower Street where 5 months ago it was reported
on cam.misc that a woman was charged with affray, and assault leading
to GBH on a special constable? And which people claimed did not exist
on maps?

Yes. IIRC the consensus was that it existed on some maps only, and was not
actually in Cambridge. I can confirm that it does exist, though, as I've now
been there. (In a police car.)

I spend most of a shift with our Community Beat Officer to get to know
Arbury from his point of view. Community policing regards the Meadows estate
as part of Arbury, unlike the people who set district boundaries who won't
believe that it has anything to do with Cambridge.

With the agreement of South Cambs DC we _might_ be able to do something

The very one. It's not in my A-Z for example. It's part of the estate built
(on allotments I think) in NW Kings Hedges/Arbury (I'm not sure where that
boundary is drawn). Land which actually lies outside the city boundary in
the parish of Impington.

I live less than two hundred yards from where the incident took place,
and have seen all the comings and going of the police over tha last few
days!
I was home all day both Thurs, Fri & Sat to my surprise there has been
no
policeman knocking on the door!! (unless they came sunday)
Sadly if they did knock, I would not be much help, as at the time the
man was found
I was watching the demise of 'Morse' on TV!! And to continue the
Geography of the thread, Morse is filmed in Oxford!! , six letter swear
word perhaps on cam.misc :-)

Of course, it's now old (and very sad) news that the man did indeed die.
This morning's news is that a man has been arrested in connection with

All of Kings Meadows lies outside the city (as does a bit of the St Albans
