A murderer tried to kill twice more in a 24-hour rage-fuelled rampage of violence and booze after strangling his girlfriend to death.
Robert Massey brutally attacked Jacqueline Forest then stabbed her in the womb, "preoccupied" with the thought that she was pregnant. He then plotted to kill two men with whom he believed she had been unfaithful, knifing one with the murder weapon after luring him to the apartment and attacking another with a pair of scissors at his own workplace.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the 49-year-old victim was in a relationship with the defendant since the summer of 2020, and he had spent time living at her home on Piele Road in Haydock. On August 15 this year, he was handed an 18-month community order at Liverpool Magistrates' Court after assaulting her and banned from attending her address for 28 days.
