Mother-of-two Fay Hurved suffered knife wounds to her neck, back and chest and is in a stable condition at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.

Her 52-year-old estranged husband Ian is also stable at Torbay Hospital after being found at the house with a knife embedded in his chest.

The stabbings happened at the officer's home in Dawlish, south Devon, on Sunday morning.

The incident was said by a police spokesman to have been domestic in nature.
