A 30 year old British backpacker that was knifed while trying to defend a woman from being killed by a Muslim attacker in an Australian hostel has died from complications of his injuries after six days.

Thomas Jackson was stabbed over 20 times in the head, neck, and torso as he was trying to defend Mia Ayliffe-Chung, 21, who was dragged from her bed by Smail Ayad, 29, who then killed her with a knife while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

Ayad also injured 12 police officers who were only able to subdue him with pepper spray and tasers.
