Natalie Queiroz MBE shares her story of survival and determination to make a difference after being stabbed 24 times with a carving knife in a frenzied nine-minute assault whilst eight months pregnant. She recounts the moment she realised her hooded attacker was her partner Bob – the love of her life – and father of her unborn child. He’s now in prison for attempted murder. Natalie’s life changed in many ways that afternoon. She’s become a victims advocate for West Midlands Police, speaks to murderers and gang members serving time in category A prisons, is a trained specialist in youth violence helping youngsters find a better path, and through it all retains an extraordinary sense of humour and grace.    Natalie receiving the MBE for services to young people & the prevention of knife crime Natalie with her former partner Babur Karamat Raja (Bob), now serving time for her attempted murder Natalie with baby Leah after the stabbing *Leah's name has been changed to protect her identity   Babur Karamat Raja (Bob) photographed by West Midlands Police
