• Man jailed for life over murder of pregnant woman in Hackney Murder

  Liam Taylor, 37, a roofer, stabbed Ailish Walsh, 28, an Irish woman from Coolock in north Dublin, more than 40 times with a pair of scissors and bludgeoned her with a 15kg dumbbell at their flat in Hackney, east London, on December 15, 2022. Walsh was 22 weeks pregnant with Taylor's child at the time of her death. Taylor pleaded guilty to murder at the Old Bailey in April 2023. His sentencing was postponed in July 2023 after he failed to attend court citing stress, and he was jailed for life in August 2023.
