| A woman who died in Oviedo today from knife wounds apparently inflicted by her nephew, tried to get help from her neighbours during her dying moments.
Every doorbell on the fourth and fifth floors on the appartment block where she lived and where the incident took place has been found stained with the woman's blood as she tried in vain to get help.
A neighbour on the fourth floor claimed to have heard the doorbell while she was in the shower and when she opened the door she found a 'pool of blood' on her doorstep and a trail of blood that led down to the third floor.
She followed the trail of blood and found the woman in the stairwell between the third and fourth floors curled up 'in the foetal position'.
Police found the alleged attacker, a 17-year-old youth on the landing of a higher floor, covered in blood and with the knife still in his hand. He confessed to killing his aunt and stabbing his grandmother.
Despite receiving emergency medical attention, the 49 year-old woman died shortly after being found. The grandmother has been transferred to hospital.
The nephew, who did not live at this address, has been arrested and charged with both murder and attempted murder |
