Colchester Knife Murders: Public Warned

Police investigating the murder of Muslim woman have revealed she was stabbed 16 times - and are warning people not to go out alone.

Detectives say two of the wounds suffered by student Nahid Almanea during the attack in Colchester would have been fatal on their own.

And officers from Essex Police told a news conference they were investigating whether the 31-year-old's dress - an abbaya and a hijab - may have been a factor in the stabbing, but that they do not yet know for sure.

They are also said they were looking into whether the killing was linked to another fatal stabbing in March.

Chief Insp Richard Phillibrown said: "It's true that we've two knife murders in Colchester in less than three months, where the motive remains unknown.

"I urge everyone in Colchester to be vigilant. The similarities between those two offences will be drawn.

"It's important that people are aware of their own surroundings, that they don't go out alone in isolated places, that they take sensible precautions."

Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Worron, of Essex Police, said: "A post-mortem was carried out on Nahid's body yesterday afternoon.

"We can now confirm that the cause of death was knife wounds.

"She suffered at least two knife wounds which would have proved fatal on their own, but in total she was stabbed 16 times to her body, neck, head and arms."

It comes after the murder of a vulnerable man, who had a brain injury after being hit by a car four years ago, near Castle Park in Colchester in the early hours of the morning on March 29.

A post-mortem examination found 33-year-old James Attfield had been stabbed more than 100 times.
