Summary:Painstaking interviews with paralysed mother-of-one Abigail Witchalls will be vital to attempts to catch the attacker who stabbed her during a brutal assault, detectives said last night. The 26-year-old is being spoken to by officers gathered at her bedside at St George's Hospital, Tooting, London, after doctors ruled she was recovering sufficiently to assist in the investigation. Detective Superintendent Adrian Harper said, 'I am very pleased for [Abigail] and her family that her condition now appears to be stabilising and that she is able to communicate with them and us. 'Both Abigail and her family have handled the terrible situation in which they find themselves with enormous dignity and courage and I believe that Abigail will want to give us all the help that she can to find the person who attacked her.'
