A man from Walsall has admitted to attempting to murder his ex-partner after stabbing her multiple times inside a house.

Terry Langley, 49, of Bloxwich, Walsall, pleaded guilty to several charges including attempted murder at Stafford Crown Court today, 20th October.

The charges stem from an incident on 3rd July this year when Langley broke into a house in Norton Canes and stabbed the victim multiple times in a bedroom.

Langley fled the scene, leaving the woman in critical condition.

She was rushed to hospital where she underwent lifesaving surgery and has since been discharged to recover at home.

Langley was arrested in Bloxwich, Walsall, a few hours after the incident.

Detective Inspector Stephen Ward described the attack as "brutal and cowardly," highlighting the impact on the victim and the swift arrest of Langley.

Langley remains in custody and is set to be sentenced on 25th February 2027.
