Apart from the woman who died following a stabbing in Manchester and has been named as 43-year-old Alberta Obinim, two other people also sustained life-threatening injuries after suffering “serious stab wounds” at a property in the Gorton area of Manchester in the United Kingdom.
The two victims battling for their lives are Elder Joshua, who leads the Ghanaian community Baptist Church in Manchester and the suspect’s junior sister.
The suspect, a 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the incident, which happened at around 11.20 pm on Sunday in Barnard Road, Gorton in the United Kingdom, Greater Manchester Police said.
The Police have said they arrested the 22-year-old man at the scene, where the woman died from her injuries.
The junior sister of the victim is a 17-year-old girl and 64-year-old Elder Joshua have been taken to hospital with “life-threatening injuries”, after suffering “serious stab wounds” at a property on the road, the police said.
Police are speaking to witnesses to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
However, early indications suggest the suspect was known to the victims, and it is being treated as an isolated incident.
Community leader, Ibrahim Abu, described Ms Obinim as a “lovely woman” who “always made sure people were smiling”.
He told Sky News the news of her death had come as a “big blow” to the community.
“Yesterday she was at church, dancing and praising. She was at church… and we wake up and hear she has died,” Mr Abu said.
