Perseverance Ncube: Man, 45, charged with murder after mum stabbed to death in front of her children at Salford home

A MAN has been charged with murder after a mum was stabbed to death in front of her children.

Perseverance Ncube, 35, was chased out of her Salford home in the crazed attack by Obert Moyo, 45, during the early hours of Friday morning.

In terrifying scenes which took place in front of her two children, Perseverance – also known to pals as ‘Persy’ – attempted to flee for her life.

Sadly, the mum suffered a single fatal stab wound to the chest before collapsing in the street.

Horrified neighbours told how her son then lay by her side until cops were called to Little Hulton, Worsley, around 2.40am.

She was rushed to hospital where she was tragically pronounced shortly after.

Moyo fled the scene before being arrested on suspicion of murder.

He has today been charged with Persy’s death and being in possession of an offensive weapon following the terror.

He has been remanded in police custody and will appear at Bolton Magistrates Court on Monday.

On that fatal night, neighbours claimed Persy ran out of her house with her children before being attacked in the road.

Kealey, Pinkey, 52, said: “The woman came running out her house with a man chasing her.

“Her two children were with her and witnessed what happened, which is awful.

“I know one of the woman’s neighbours and she went over to help the woman after she collapsed in the road.

“Apparently, the little boy was lying next to her on the floor.”

She added: “I got to know the woman because she used to sell Avon products, but I think she worked for the NHS.”

Another neighbour Reianna Jackson, 35, said: “It’s terrible what’s happened.”

She said Persy was a keen church-goer and a doting mum, adding: “She was a devoted mum and did everything she could for her kids.

“She was so caring and hard-working.

“It’s awful she’s died.”

She added that a neighbour’s son had given Persy CPR as she lay with stab wounds and emergency services raced to the horrific scene.
