A marketing intern ‘played dead’ after being stabbed 18 times because she feared the London Bridge terrorists were about to decapitate her, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
Marie Bondeville had enjoyed a romantic meal with boyfriend Oliver Dowling, 34, when they were attacked by three knife-wielding fanatics.
Miss Bondeville thought she was being repeatedly punched as she fell but suffered a series of stab wounds to her face and body. As she lay in the foetal position on the pavement, she begged for the attack to stop and kept calling for help.
