Mother knifed to death and daughter, 23, left fighting for life after double stabbing at Premier Inn hotel

Detectives are keeping a vigil by the bedside of a knife victim whose mother was stabbed to death. Nicola McDonough, 23, was fighting for her life last night in the hospital where her mother, Margaret, 52, died earlier yesterday. Both women were discovered with knife wounds at a hotel where they had booked into a double room for one night. Detectives were last night unable to say whether or not they had been the victims of an attacker Margaret McDonough and her daughter, both from Paisley, Renfrewshire, had been staying at the Premier Inn hotel in James Watt Way, Greenock, Renfrewshire. The first indication of the horror came at 7am yesterday when hotel guests found the younger woman slumped unconscious in the corridor outside her room. Both women were taken by ambulance to Greenock’s Inverclyde Royal Hospital, where doctors fought in vain to save Margaret, who died yesterday afternoon. They managed to stabilise her daughter, but her life was still in the balance last night.
