Mother told her son 'I love you' as he repeatedly stabbed her after leaving his sister dying in a pool of blood on the floor of their high rise flat


Melvin James (main image), 36, launched the assault on Lynette James after fatally wounding his sister, Anne-Marie (inset), at their flat in Wolverhampton. Police were called and officers initially attempted to Taser the attacker before fleeing the high-rise, 'terrified' for their lives. James, who had stabbed himself, was eventually subdued after an armed response unit stormed the flat with flash-bang grenades. He was given medical treatment but died at the scene. His mother was taken to hospital. An inquest jury hearing evidence into the deaths of Mr James and his sister watched dramatic police body-cam footage of the incident, which took place on March 8.
