Female travel agent is killed in broad daylight knife attack after having her 'throat slit' in front of horrified shoppers

  
A female travel agent has died after she was attacked at a travel agents' shop, where one witness claimed her 'throat had been slit'. The 28-year-old victim was seen being carried out of the TUI branch covered in blood in front of horrified shoppers in Southport today, according to onlookers (pictured, inset, air ambulances land nearby). A 30-year-old man was detained at the scene and the travel agent confirmed a female staff member was involved in an incident just before 1.30pm (pictured, top, police remain at the scene, and, bottom, arriving this afternoon). One eyewitness said: 'I was walking past when they were rushing to get the woman into the ambulance. There was a lady from the travel agent shaking outside the shop, and lots of police around who had just arrived.'
