The death of Ailish Walsh has drawn the attention of a lot of people.
In December, Ailish Walsh’s death was found at her Rectory Road home. A guy has admitted to killing his pregnant girlfriend with a pair of scissors.
Liam Taylor, 37, admitted killing Ailish Walsh, 28, who was 22 weeks pregnant and had more than 40 puncture wounds, at the Old Bailey.
She was found on December 15 at her residence on Rectory Road in Hackney, east London, after what was described as a “ferocious” attack. Later, the victim’s father discovered her dead and covered in blood.
She was wearing a high-visibility jacket, and in the pocket of the jacket she held the defendant’s debit card. A pair of bloody scissors and two dumbbells were found nearby.
Taylor, a resident of Hornsey in north London, was shown on surveillance footage coming into the building via the common door at 20:36 GMT and departing at 21:14 GMT.
Liam Taylor, the boyfriend, was detained after stabbing his pregnant partner
Five minutes before the victim left, a female friend contacted him and over the phone, she could hear fighting and yelling in the background.
The court was told that she had gotten in contact with Ms. Walsh after learning through texts that she was trying to expel Taylor from the residence because he was doing narcotics.
Taylor was hauled into jail at his home early the next morning. He had alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine in his bloodstream.
As he was being brought into detention, he said to the police, “It’s crazy how one moment of madness can change your whole life.”
Taylor allegedly had past convictions for abusing female family members, according to the court.
He was given a warning for headbutting his 16-year-old sister and a 12-month jail term for striking his mother with a metal rod.
