The family of a young woman murdered by a controlling and violent 'monster' have told of their heartbreak. Elinor O'Brien, 22, from Salford, was stabbed to death by her 45-year-old boyfriend Kevin Mannion after a row at his Manchester city centre apartment.
They argued after Elinor questioned Mannion, who had told her that a woman he'd also been seeing had revealed she was pregnant. Mannion stabbed her to the groin at the Great Northern Tower off Peter Street, and Elinor died three days later. He called 999 and paramedics rushed to the scene.
But within half an hour of calling the emergency services, Mannion called his solicitor and asked him to be 'available'. Two days before the fatal knifing, Mannion had stabbed Elinor to the breast.
