A woman who had won awards for her charity work died after being attacked in the street in Newcastle by a gang of up to 11 men, police have said. A 25-year-old man, who was also stabbed in the attack, received treatment in hospital and was later discharged. Three men – one aged 22 and two aged 25 – were arrested on Monday at a house close to the scene of the attack and, on Tuesday, a further two men, aged 18 and 20, were arrested. Police believe there could have been 10 or 11 men in the group involved in the attack. Neighbours left flowers, cards and candles at the scene of the attack, paying tribute to a “loving aunt and sister”.
