A mum said she is "haunted" after her ex-boyfriend stabbed her 24 times while their six-day-old baby was sleeping in the cot next to them.

Clarissa Price, 28, was at home with baby Remie when then-boyfriend Roy Summers, then 18, launched his attack.

After becoming enraged over a conversation he mumbled "why do you have to make me so angry?" according to reports, and turned off the lights, and shoved her on the bed.

Police said he stabbed her "close to 20 times" with what was believed to be a box cutter, but a weapon was never found - before turning on Clarissa's mum Wendy Damiani, 48, who was watching TV.

He stabbed her "just as many times" - including in the neck and chest - according to reports based on court documents.

All the while babe Remie was asleep and Clarissa said she played dead - and could see her own blood splattered around the room.

She escaped, crawling out of a window to get help.

Roy was jailed for between six and 20 years - and is still in prison.
