Dog walkers in and around the village of East Harling are launching a 'buddy' dog walking scheme two months after the killing of 83 year old Peter Wrighton

See Kate Prout's report here

Mr Wrighton was found with multiple stab wounds in Harling Woods on 5th August 2017. Alexander Palmer has been charged with his murder and is expected to stand trial next year.

Norfolk Police and local dogwalkers have teamed up to establish a buddy walking scheme for dog owners. It will involve signing up to a Facebook page and contacting other dog walkers. The scheme will be launched with a dog walk in Harling Woods later this year
