The mum-of-one was stabbed in her back and neck 19 times but before she took her last breaths she was able to provide a description of her attacker to the first police officer to arrive at the crime scene.

Hide AdMichaela, from Pitsmoor, told PC Richard Twigg that her attacker was clean shaven and wore a wedding ring.
She also told the officer that she had been picked up from Bower Street, just off Corporation Street in the city centre.
Michaela was found injured on a nearby car park off Spitalfields, opposite a pub then known as The Manchester, which is now The Harlequin.
An old-style blue Ford Sierra was seen driving away from where her body was found, which triggered a nationwide hunt for the car.
