She told the court of the moment he stabbed Malika, having already stabbed Ms Katib, depriving the woman of the use of her legs. Ms Katib again told her daughter to run and she tried, but fell to the ground, the detective said. Tamimi stabbed the child again as she lay on the ground, at least twice in the back. Ms Katib heard him say: “That’s fine, all three of us can die”, before lying on the floor and taking a deep breath. Ms Katib had suffered 10 stab wounds to her face, neck, upper arms and hands.
