A Blessed Baptist Temple spokesman said he knew Ms Obinim for more than 16 years and that she was a passionate member of the city’s Ghanaian community who led the women’s wing at the church alongside her husband, Joshua.
“She would come with her son and family to the church. All the women looked up to her.

He added: “We haven’t had a chance to speak to her husband yet. For now we are not allowed to speak to him.

I was wondering if this was a family affair. JMO. I thought perhaps the ages lined up to be 2 parents, 2 children but this may not be the case.

Gorton: Suspect in woman's stabbing placed under Mental Health Act

Alberta Obinim, 43, died in the attack in Manchester on Sunday while two others were seriously injured.

www.bbc.co.uk

A man arrested on suspicion of the stabbing murder of a 43-year-old woman in Manchester has been detained under the Mental Health Act.



Police believe all involved were known to each other. One victim is now stable, the other is critical. Sounds to me like an isolated non-terror incident.... JMO.
