Mother 'was stabbed 22 times in front of her young daughter by ex-boyfriend day after he was released from prison'

A little girl was found clutching her doll and standing by the body of her mother, who had been stabbed to death, a court heard. The body of Kelly Davies, 31, was found by a family friend at her home in Farnworth, Bolton, on June 4 last year. Her ex-boyfriend Joseph Davies - no relation - is accused of stabbing her 22 times two days earlier - the day after he had been released from prison. Davies, 36, of no fixed address, denies murder. He was arrested in The Netherlands after being hit by a train in The Hague the day after Ms Davies' body was found. His injuries were so severe that he had to have his right leg amputated below the knee. Family friend Vincent Walmsley told Manchester Crown Court that he discovered the body when he went to collect Ms Davies and her young daughter to take them to a party. Mr Walmsley, 65, had acted as a carer to Ms Davies and had taken her to appointments for several years. Mr Walmsley told the court how he let himself into the flat using his key just before 1pm on Monday June 4 last year. There was no sign of a break-in, the patio doors were shut, but Ms Davies was lying 'prone' on the sofa.
