A thug carried out a brutal and unprovoked murder bid on his heavily pregnant fiancee. Martin McLaren repeatedly stabbed Joy Furrie leaving her with life-threatening injuries.
The 31 year-old - a first offender with no history of violence - had earlier smoked what he thought was cannabis, but turned out to be something more "potent".
McLaren also attacked a neighbour, who he had initially gone to for help. McLaren pled guilty to attempting to murder Miss Furrie at their then home in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire on September 28 2020.
