The grieving family of a man who lost his life after being repeatedly stabbed have shared their heartache on the first anniversary of his death.
Fise Ames Abdou was knifed in the legs at the home he was staying at in South Shields, South Tyneside. The 25-year-old died in hospital following the attack on March 5 last year.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how Fise was stabbed at least seven times in both legs. One of the stab wounds to his leg severed a vein and he bled to death despite efforts to save him.
