overhill road blocked off by police (July 01)

[dimples]

does anyone know why overhill road has been blocked off by police ? someone said it was a stabbing ?

[ludoscotts]

hi we are at the start (lordship lane end) of overhill and have heard and seen nothing.

The road was taped off from the corner of Belvoir Road. I arrived home at 5pm and there were at least 3 or 4 police cars, lots of police searching the grass at the front of the estate. There was police tape from the corner of Belvoir Road up to the width of the Dawson Height estate in Overhill Road which meant no traffic could get through.

People wanting to pass through the tape were being signed in by a police woman.

Most of the police left the area by 7.15pm although one car remained.

The previous night we had the 'excitement' of a flashing/siren fire engine which was putting out a fire in a garden opposite Dawson Heights.

my daughter saw the road taped off about 7.40pm half way up road after belvoir road !

just heard a young lady, possibly a jogger was stabbed in the back... apparently two guys in a works vehicle were there at the scene helping to comfort her. been told shes in hospital getting treatment....

as we all know at times like this theres always rumours so i can't say how much of this information is true...

apparently it happened at the bit leading into the estate where the cars enter...

Probably wiser not to stick this on here til you know it's true, then.

my friend who lives on the estate told me about it..... but as we know no matter how close you live to the scene of the crime, people can get there wires crossed. she got this information from her neighbour whose son had seen the woman bending down & holding her tummy when he was coming home from school....... this was before the police arrived. the police also questioned her son about what he saw.

[ludoscotts]

so was she stabbed in the tummy too?

does anyone know if she is ok?

[melanie]

no idea if she is ok. but she was stabbed, because the police told me as we signed through to get into the flat.

Spotted the police presence yesterday. I did wonder what it was all about.

The lady was stabbed in the back, she lived on the estate. It was a random attack.
