'Daddy had the knife. He told mummy to die': Four-year-old girl tells court how father stabbed mother in vicious attack

A four-year-old girl was the key witness in a trial that saw her father jailed for an 'atrocious' knife attack on her mother.

Michael Saunders, 48, from Swindon, Wiltshire, was handed a 12-year prison sentence at Bristol Crown Court after pleading guilty to attempted murder.

Saunders attacked his partner, slashing her across the face in front of their four-year-old daughter, while their two-year-old was asleep in his cot.

The woman, who has not been named, suffered a number of knife wounds to her face and arms and was rushed to hospital after the girl pleaded with her father to call an ambulance.
