Lt Col Mark Teeton’s wife Eileen had told the court on Monday how she rushed to help a soldier lying on the ground – and then realised it was her husband.<\/p>\n
After hearing cries for help while in her garden and rushing outside, Mrs Teeton pushed Anthony Esan off his victim before seeing he had a knife. <\/p>\n
She said she “felt a wave of terror” and that she may need to run for her life, but he did not to go after her.<\/p>\n
\n“I watched horrified by his continued savage attack,” Mrs Teeton said. <\/p>\n
“I realised it was my husband on the ground and he was carving at his face and neck,” she continued. <\/p>\n
She tried to shield her eldest daughter who had been having an ice cream, and arrived back to the scene where Teeton was in a “devastating” condition.<\/p>\n
\nMrs Teeton said she could “not stand by” seeing a soldier lying on the ground.<\/p>\n
“But that wasn’t a soldier, that was Mark, my husband, a father, a brother, an uncle,” she added. <\/p>\n
“We will live with this forever, the scars will fade but your attack will never be erased.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘I felt a wave of terror,’ Teeton’s wife says as she describes moment she rushed to helppublished at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":278751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-423648","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-kingdom","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-greatbritain","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
