Young Ukrainian girl fighting for her life in CHI Crumlin after being stabbed 75 times in Clare attack

The young girl fighting for life after a frenzied knife attack at a house was stabbed 75 times - but miraculously none of her major organs were hit.

The Irish Mirror has learned that the eight-year-old Ukrainian refugee is in Crumlin Children's Hospital, after being transferred from Limerick, where medics continue to treat her. The child was discovered before 8am on Tuesday morning at a house near Clarecastle, Co Clare, which is near the town of Ennis.

Her mum, 46, was also discovered unconscious at the scene. The girl had severe injuries after being stabbed multiple times to the neck and body. And medics have now established that she had 75 knife wounds.
