Neck stab victim Abigail able to speak and feel

STABBING victim Abigail Witchalls yesterday revealed she has regained sensation in most of her body as medics hailed her courageous recovery.

“God is doing beautiful things,” said 26-year-old Ms Witchalls, who was considered likely to die after she was knifed in the neck on April 20 near her home in Little Bookham, Surrey.

“I have sensation over most of my body and the pain is less now. I can move my head, but as yet I cannot move my arms and legs. I can breathe and speak on my own for short periods.
