A roofer who stabbed his pregnant girlfriend 46 times with a pair of scissors refused to come to court for sentence because he would find it 'extremely distressing'.
Liam Taylor, 37, brutally murdered mother-of-four Ailish Walsh and later told police: 'It's crazy how one moment of madness can change your whole life'.
Ms Walsh, originally from Ireland, was 22 weeks pregnant with Taylor's child at the time of her death. The 28-year-old had been trying to break up with Taylor because he was taking drugs, the Old Bailey has heard.
