Rushden stabbing: Levi Davis 'killed after car crash' | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
A woman was stabbed to death in a fight following a car crash, police said. | |
Mother-of-two Levi Davis, 25, died in Wellingborough Road, Rushden, on Saturday evening. | |
She was in a black VW Polo which crashed with a white Vauxhall van just before an argument broke out, Northamptonshire Police said. | |
A man, 27, was arrested on suspicion of murder. He had serious injuries and a 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of his attempted murder. | |
A 13-year-old boy, also arrested on suspicion of murder, was released on Sunday night with no further action to be taken. | |
Supt Dennis Murray said: "The vehicles were involved in some sort of altercation before the crash. | |
"There was a fight and, as a result, the person died. My heart goes out to the lady's family." | |
He dismissed the idea that Ms Davis had been the victim of a mugging, and said police believed those involved knew each other. | |
Two other cars with smashed windows - a Fiat and a white Nissan Note, which are thought to have been in a crash further up the road - were also taken away by police. | |
Floral tributes to Ms Davis, who lived on Wellingborough Road, have been left near the scene. | |
One friend said: "She had two young children. I used to walk to school with her. It is so sad." | |
'Tried to help' | |
People living nearby recalled rushing to Ms Davis's aid. | |
One woman said: "People tried to help, but she died very quickly." | |
Pattamaea Kuttppa, a 77-year-old retired aircraft engineer, said: "I heard a big thud. At first I thought it was a car accident. | |
"Police were coming from all sides. They searched my garden looking for clues." |
