Man stabs pregnant girlfriend in brutal attack, leaves her to die

In Birmingham, England, a tragic incident occurred where Filmon Andmichaen stabbed his pregnant girlfriend, Liwam Bereket, in the neck, resulting in her death and that of their unborn child. The stabbing took place in woodland, and Andmichaen left Bereket face down in the grass for over an hour before he called emergency services. Despite claiming it was a mistake, evidence suggested he intended to kill both her and their child, viewing the pregnancy as a complication he was unwilling to accept. When he finally called for help at 9:45 PM, it was crucially delayed, occurring an hour and a half after the incident. This delay raised doubts about his state of mind and whether he truly wanted to save her life. During the trial, it emerged that Andmichaen had previously denied his paternity and had a volatile relationship with Bereket, often holding her in low regard. It was revealed that he even attempted to blame her for the events leading to her stabbing. The judge described his actions as cowardly and callous, indicating that he had neither remorse nor a history of similar offenses, which impacted the severity of his sentencing. In light of this, the judge sentenced Andmichaen to serve a minimum of 27 years in prison, with Bereket’s family expressing their grief over the loss of their loved one. Their statement indicated the profound impact this crime had on their lives, as Bereket was described as a kind-hearted and compassionate person who brought joy to those around her.
