A mother-of-one was stabbed twice by her boyfriend in a motiveless breakfast time attack as he appeared to be offering her a cup of tea.
Joanne Smallwood had woken up on her couch at 9am to find fitness fanatic Malcolm O Connor, 47, standing over her after they slept in separate rooms following an argument the previous evening.
At first she assumed that O Connor was about to ask her if she wanted tea – but instead he grabbed hold of Miss Smallwood and stabbed her in the back as the pair engaged in a violent struggle.
She was rescued by her son Alan, 18 who heard his mother s screams for help, and amazingly escaped with just two minor superficial wounds which were closed by doctors using sutures.
