A roofer who killed his girlfriend and their unborn baby girl in a frenzied attack with a pair of scissors did not have the courage to face the victim's family in court today as he was jailed for 27 years.
Liam Taylor, 37, killed his pregnant girlfriend Ailish Walsh, 28, in their flat in Hackney, east London, in a frenzied attack. He stabbed her 40 times and hit her over the head with a 15kg dumbbell.
