Her Name is Emily Jones: 7-Year-Old Girl Stabbed to Death by Somali Invader

04/04/2020

A seven-year-old White girl was stabbed to death by a Somali woman in front of her father as she rode her scooter past a park bench on Mother's Day, an inquest heard earlier this week.

Emily Jones was out 'enjoying the spring sun' with her family at Queen's Park in Heaton, Bolton on March 22 when the 30-year-old Somali woman (authorities, for some reason, have refused to identify her), who was sitting on a wooden bench, stabbed the girl in the neck. Emergency services were called to the park at around 2.30 pm - with the child rushed to nearby Salford Royal Hospital, only for Emily to tragically die a short time later despite 'best efforts' of doctors, the UK's Bolton News reported.

Acting Senior Coroner Alan Walsh described Emily's death as 'one of the most tragic' instances he'd presided over at the start of the inquest into the child's death at Bolton Coroner's Court.
