Man due in court for murder of pregnant woman

1 day ago

LONDON (AFP) — A 53-year-old man was due in court on Tuesday charged with murder over the fatal stabbing of a young woman who was seven months pregnant.

Alan McMullan was arrested on Sunday shortly after launching what police described as a "completely random" attack on 21-year-old Claire Wilson as she walked through the centre of Grimsby near Hull.

McMullan, whom witnesses said walked casually away after stabbing the young woman in the back, will appear before Grimsby Magistrates on Tuesday charged with her murder.

The young mum-to-be was attacked on her way to work at a local Pizza Hut in the town centre, police said.

Members of the public tried to give her first aid while others chased her attacker who was later picked up by a police van.

Wilson was rushed to the Diana Princess of Wales hospital in Grimsby but later died along with her unborn child, whom she had already named April.

Family and friends left flowers and cards at the scene of the attack several hundred yards from the main shopping centre.

Her partner Adam Kennard, 23, on Monday spent a distraught half hour at the spot, paying a heartbroken tribute to his girlfriend and unborn daughter.

After reading through the many cards and tributes, he left a number of personal items at the site, including a helium balloon reading 'Baby Girl'.

One card which was left with a tiny pair of red baby bootees said: "Baby April, you would have been the most loved baby in the world. Take care of your mum for us. Hope you like your shoes."

NO the one you are thinking of is even more horrible. A woman cut the baby from a pregnant mother and took the baby boy home (claiming it was hers), and later on the police was called to the house of the woman who killed the mother and stole the baby bc the baby was reported unresponsive and they discovered that the woman had not given birth and linked her to the murder. Here is a link to that story.

I won't be surprised if the guy who murdered her is mentally ill or was on drugs.

Heartbreaking story though. It's particularly sad that they couldn't even save the baby.

This is where I live :( I knew who she was and met her when we were younger, we used to hang around with the same people. It's just horrendous! I took some flowers on Tuesday morning and there's just so many things there and so many lovely messages it's just heartbreaking! I couldn't stop myself from crying! I just can't get my head around it being a totally random attack, and on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of town! It could have been anyone, why her?! I am so sad. I think our whole town is mourning for her. I just can't imagine what her boyfriend, family and friends are going through right now, it must be unbearable for them :'(
