British woman stabbed in Jerusalem

A BRITISH woman has been found bound with her hands behind her back and bleeding from multiple stab wounds outside the Israeli city of Jerusalem.

The dead body of her friend was also found, bound and repeatedly stabbed, Israeli police said.

The British woman, named by sources as Kaye Wilson, told police they had been attacked by two Arab men while hiking in a nearby forest. She said she managed to escape her assailants by pretending to be dead and then fled to a parking area where other people alerted authorities.
