He also denied the attempted murder of Mark Stone, who was injured on the same day at an address in Bowditch Road, Spalding.

Rule was due to go on trial at Lincoln Crown Court later this month.

However Rule today pleaded guilty to both charges when he appeared before Judge Simon Hirst at Lincoln Crown Court.

Rule was remanded into custody and will be sentenced by Mr Justice Holgate on January 16.

Judge Hirst told Rule: "You will be sentenced on 16 January by Mr Justice Holgate.

"Until then you are remanded into custody."
