A mother of five was found dead from multiple stab wounds and her boyfriend was found dead with his neck slashed.

The woman had many slash wounds on her hands and arms, which is a good indication she tried to block the path of the stabbing knife.

Most likely she then tried to cover up the wounds on her arms and was then stabbed multiple times in the chest.

The boyfriend, having received only one wound, a slash to the throat, indicates he was probably surprised and quickly taken out.

When a person attacks with a knife it's more likely to be fatal than even a gunshot wound because of the severe bleeding caused by the cutting of the knife.

Don't be fooled by the fancy moves they show in the movies when the star defends against a knife, because there is very LITTLE that one can do when attacked with a knife.

However, here are four things that the top experts recommend:

1) Run.
If you can avoid the person or get away do it immediately! Why stay in danger when it could cost your life? Also, use your sixth sense. If you sense that someone is dangerous get away from them.

2) Kick.
If you can't run and the attacker is about 10 feet away, explode a kick at the attacker's waistline and then use an open hand to hit him or her in the face, then get away.

3) Turn and Hit.
If the attacker is closer than 10 feet you won't have time to kick, so just hit the attacker as step toward him with your body turned away, giving him a smaller target.If he has the knife in his right hand, you'll step in with your right leg and hit him with your right side open hand, and vice versa if he has the knife in his left hand.

4) Don't touch.
Never try to grab the knife because your hand will be cut.

Have a great day!
