A man has been charged with the murder of a ‘devoted’ mother and Avon beauty seller, who was tragically stabbed to death ‘in front of her young children’.

Obert Moyo, 45, has been charged with the murder of Perseverance Ncube, 35, after she was stabbed in her property in Salford, Greater Manchester.

At around 2.40am on November 10, officers were called reports of a woman who had been found with serious injuries on Dukesgate Grove in Little Hulton, Worsley.

They saw Miss Ncube, who was well known in the area because she previously sold beauty products for Avon, being chased out of her semi-detached home.

Church-goer Perseverance – who was found with a single stab injury to the chest – was taken to hospital where she sadly died as a result of her injuries.

She was dressed in just her underwear and collapsed on the street outside. 

Witnesses say the man was armed with a knife and a hammer. 

Moyo, who is from Bolton, has also been charged with possession of an offensive weapon. 

He has been remanded ahead of a court appearance at Bolton Magistrates Court on Monday.

in a tribute to the businesswoman, Perseverance’s family described her as ‘loving and devoted mother of two’.

In the weeks leading up to the attack, neighbours had said the devoted mother had told them she was worried a man had been hanging around her property.

Neighbour Kealey Pinkey, 52, said: ‘The woman came running out of her house in just her underwear with a man chasing her.

‘Her two children were with her and witnessed what happened, which is awful. I know one of the woman’s neighbours went over to help after she collapsed in the road.

‘Apparently, the little boy was lying next to her on the floor.’

Ms Pinkey added: ‘I got to know the woman because she used to sell Avon products, but I think she worked for the NHS.

‘Apparently she was being stalked and people have seen a man hanging around.’

Another neighbour Reianna Jackson, 25, said she had heard Miss Ncube’s thought someone had been ‘watching her.’

‘It’s terrible what’s happened,’ she added.
