A MUM-of-six has been found “stabbed” to death alongside her ex-husband in a suspected murder-suicide.

Vicala Gheorghe, 49, was allegedly knifed in her own home on a quiet residential street in Coventry by Marain Gheorghe before he took his own life.

Cops scrambled to Caludon Road in the city around 5.30am on Friday where Ms Gheorghe was found with serious injuries.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: “The pair were former partners and forensic post mortems will take place next week to establish the causes of death.

“We’re continuing our enquiries into exactly what happened but at this stage we strongly believe Marian injured Vicala and then himself.

“We’re offering support to family members during this distressing time.

“We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident at this stage.”

Six rescue crews, including three ambulances, dashed to the property after receiving an emergency call last Friday morning.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of a stabbing on Caludon Road in Coventry at 5.30am.

“Three ambulances, two paramedic officers and the Air Ambulance Critical Care Car were sent to the scene where, on arrival, crews found two patients: a man and a woman.

“The man, who was in a critical condition, was receiving basic life support from police colleagues before ambulance staff took over and immediately began administering advanced life support.

“Sadly, he could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.

“The female patient, who had suffered serious injuries, received advanced trauma care from medics before being conveyed on blue lights to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

“However, shortly after arrival at hospital, sadly it became clear she could not be saved and was confirmed deceased.”
