PSNI officer outlines what happened after he arrived at home where fatal stabbing occurred
An inquest into the death of a woman fatally stabbed by her ex partner heard today how the first police officer on the scene described it as the “worst I’ve ever seen”.
He described arriving within around five minutes of being alerted to the emergency, finding Conor in a blood-stained tee-shirt. The inquest heard that on inspection the officer discovered Conor had been stabbed in the stomach and while tending to this the officer tried to establish if there was anyone else in the house.He then “repeated ‘Paedar Phair’ over and over again, while making a cutting motion with his finger across his throat,” the officer said.
The officer said: “I saw a large number of apparent blood spatters inside the doorway and more on the duvet on the bed. I saw a female lying on her left side between the bed and en-suite bathroom. She was facing me. I was in no doubt she was dead.”
