In the programme's news segment, correspondent Nick Dixon delivered a live report from Cambridgeshire about a distressing incident at a local farm where four alpacas have been shot and killed with a rifle. The farm's owner is reeling from the "senseless" loss after discovering their bodies in her field.

Nick reported: "The police are investigating and they're appealing for anyone with any information however trivial to come forward and help them to try track down the killer or killers."
