The tragedy of Perseverance Ncube, a 35-year-old mother of two, shook Greater Manchester when she was stabbed to death in the street in front of her children. The attack happened on Dukesgate Grove in Little Hulton at around 2.40am on Friday. Her two young children were witnesses to this horrific attack.
Perseverance, also known as Percy to her loved ones, was remembered by her family as ‘a loving and devoted mother who lived for her children, family, and friends.’ Percy was an active member of her church and had created a beautiful community for herself and her children.
In a statement, her family said: ‘It is with immense pain that we say goodbye to Perseverance Ncube. Percy had just celebrated her 35th birthday in October, and her passing has left us with an immeasurable sense of loss. Our focus now is on supporting her children as they continue their journey without their mother.’
Police have arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of murder after he fled the scene. They believe that Ms Ncube was known to him and it appears to have been a targeted attack.
Detective Chief Inspector Gina Brennand of GMP’s Major Incident Team said: ‘We are in the early stages of our investigation, and an experienced team of detectives continue to work extremely hard to understand a comprehensive timeline of events that will help us piece together what has happened earlier this morning. This was a truly horrific attack on a mother, witnessed by her two young children and we really need the public to come forward and give information to us that may be able to assist our enquiries to find answers for them.’
GMP are now appealing to motorists and residents in the area who may have captured Dashcam, CCTV or doorbell camera footage to get in contact. Anyone with information should contact Greater Manchester Police on 101 quoting log number 236 of 10/11/2023, or pass information on anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
