A Gateshead mum who was stabbed 29 times and then locked in a cupboard by her partner has opened up about her courageous fight for survival to raise awareness of domestic violence.
In May 2021, Martina Turner was setting the table for breakfast at her home in Winlaton Mill when she was victim to a horrific attack by her partner at the time, Steven Wood.
The 54-year-old was stabbed 29 times with three different knives by Wood and then locked in a kitchen cupboard.
