A man is due to appear in court charged with the murder of a woman who was stabbed to death in front of her two children.

Perseverance Ncube, 35, found with serious injuries on Dukesgate Grove in Little Hulton, Worsley, at around 2:40am on Friday, 10 November.

She was taken to hospital with a single stab injury to the chest but she died.

Obert Moyo, of Pennington Road, Bolton, has been charged with her murder and possession of an offensive weapon.

He will appear at Bolton Magistrates Court on Monday 13 November.

In an earlier statement, her family said: "It is with immense pain that we say goodbye to Perseverance Ncube, also known as Percy to her loved ones.

“She was a loving and devoted mother who lived for her children, family, and friends.

"Percy was an active member of her church and had created a beautiful community for herself and her children, but she was cruelly taken from us due to domestic violence.

“Percy had just celebrated her 35th birthday in October, and her passing has left us with an immeasurable sense of loss.

"Our focus now is on supporting her children as they continue their journey without their mother. With love from Percy’s family.”
