Manchester-A Zimbabwean woman was on Tuesday evening found stabbed in Rochdale.
A murder investigation has been launched after the woman later died in hospital after being found with serious injuries.
The nurse who was stabbed to death after neighbours heard a row and saw a TV being thrown from a window has been named as Miriam Nyazema, Manchester Evening News reports stating.
Police were called to Shawclough Way in Rochdale at around 9.10pm on Tuesday by frightened residents who reported hearing gunshots and a man with a gun in the street.
Armed officers found Miriam Nyazema at the scene.
The 35-year-old had suffered serious stab wound injuries.
First aid was administered by officers and paramedics and she was taken to hospital but sadly died later from her injuries.
Two men, aged 45 and 35, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
Police confirmed that a gun found at the house was a BB gun, not a firearm.
Neighbours on nearby Shawclough Close told the M.E.N. that a ‘terrified’ man had fled from the house and ran across the roof of a garage to make his escape.
He then began knocking on doors asking for help and reportedly tried to force his way in to one property.
One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: “He was banging on my door, ringing, he was scared to death. He was terrified for his life.”
Another neighbour, who also asked not to be named added: “He was crying. He had his head down and hood up. I looked into his eyes and thought ‘oh my god’.” – Manchester Evening News
