A quiet morning turned into chaos on Lulworth Gardens, Wythenshawe, as a horrific stabbing unfolded, leaving the neighbourhood in shock. As the clock struck 8am, families were kickstarting their day, unaware of the nightmare about to erupt. A desperate victim, in a frantic search for help, pounded on a neighbour’s door as the scene of terror spread across the street.
Residents watched in disbelief from their windows as emergency services swarmed the area. One father, tears in his eyes, shared how he was preparing his son for school when he saw the victim screaming for help. “It was madness. I called the police straight away,” he recalled, helpless but hoping to assist.
The victim, described by neighbours as a “lovely person,” sadly succumbed to her injuries despite the rapid response efforts. Greater Manchester Police have arrested a 44-year-old man on suspicion of murder, but they assure the public there is no wider threat. While a blue tent now marks the sombre spot, the community is left grappling with the tragedy that hit so close to home.
A neighbour shared heartbreaking memories of the victim, saying, “She always stopped for a chat, always smiling. It’s devastating.” Another resident, returning home after a morning errand, found the street transformed into a crime scene. “It happened so quickly. My thoughts are with her and her family,” she said.
