Man due in court on attempted murder charge

A 43-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after a man in his 70s was found with serious injuries.

Daniel Kent, of Broad Lane, Sutterton, near Boston, is due to appear at Lincoln Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Lincolnshire Police was called to Kirkby on Bain, near Horncastle, on Saturday.

Det Ch Insp Andy McWatt said officers were keen to hear from anyone who saw a light grey VW Arteon car being driven around the village between 09:00 and 16:00 BST that day.

"A man remains in hospital with very serious injuries, and it is imperative that we build as complete a picture as possible of what happened," he said.
