Woman dies after 'stabbing herself in neck in front of horrified shoppers' in Asda supermarket
Emergency services were called to the store in Shipley, West Yorkshire, where the unnamed woman is believed to have taken her own life.
One female witness claimed the woman was found lying in a pool of blood in the hardware aisle of the Asda supermarket in Shipley.
Police sealed off the the store at around 8:37am this morning.
Emergency services responded to reports that the woman, who has not yet been named, suffered a self-inflicted neck wound.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
"One of the young men who works there actually saw the woman stabbing herself in the throat. He's in terrible shock. Staff told me the woman had come in with a Polish woman and while her friend was at the bakery, she'd taken a knife from a rack in the hardware department, torn it out of the packaging and then stabbed herself."
I suppose it's one way of checking if the knives are any good.
