Two paramedics have been given bravery honours for battling to save a dying Eastbourne woman who was stabbed 21 times by her jilted lover.
Nick Bastin and Alan Cranch tended Kim Baldry's wounds as her killer, Anthony Pate, stood just feet away.
Mrs Baldry had been repeatedly stabbed by Pate in her lounge in Gorringe Road, Eastbourne, after she ended their two-year relationship.
The paramedics, based at Eastbourne, fought desperately to keep Mrs Baldry, 44, alive but she died later that evening at Eastbourne District General Hospital.
The pair were handed the Chief Executive's Certificate by the High Sheriff of East Sussex, David Pennock, at Barns Gate Manor Vineyard in Heron's Ghyll, near Uckfield.
At the end of the week-long murder trial in July, Judge Mr justice Moses recommended the paramedics be honoured. Pate was sentenced to life imprisonment.
