Details of Incident

We're appealing for help to trace this man after a woman was seriously injured following a stabbing in Coventry on 18 February 2026.

 

We were called to an address in Swanswell Street at just before 4.30am.

 

A woman in her 20s was discovered with multiple stab wounds and was rushed to hospital where she remains in a stable condition.

 

Following enquiries we've established Deara Sadiq as our prime suspect.
