A mother-of-three nurse has been stabbed to death in the street outside her home. Neighbours heard screams and a man fled the scene following the attack on Victoria Woodhall, 31, on Sunday.
Police said a man aged 40 was arrested and held on suspicion on murder. A neighbour said Victoria was attacked “in front of people in the street”.
The nurse, from Middlecliffe, near Barnsley, South Yorks, had taken time off work to be with her eldest daughter on her 13th birthday on Tuesday.
Gareth Cowley, 33, the father of Victoria’s eldest child, said he saw her a few hours before she died. He said: “My daughter has been staying with me during the week because of the coronavirus and Victoria working at the hospital.
