I killed my missus because she killed our kid': Murder five days after social services let slip to dad about abortion

The crazed boyfriend carried out the savage attack as the pair shared a taxi home together after a night out to celebrate his birthday
A boyfriend stabbed the mother of his three children to death in the back of a taxi after social services informed him she had aborted their unborn child.
Crazed Junior Oakes, 28, knifed 22-year-old Natasha Trevis 26 times in the head, chest, arms and stomach.
A social worker had accidentally told Oakes just five days before the murder that his girlfriend had aborted their baby.
He carried out the savage attack as the pair shared a taxi home together after a night out to celebrate his birthday last August.
Terrified 5ft 1ins Natasha managed to scramble out of the taxi but Oakes chased her and continued to stab her to death.
(she was 20 years old with a 3, 2, and 1 year old)

And this is why abortion must be legal and anonymous. Edit: This is one of the reasons.

(22,336 posts)I agree
Edit: I saw the article quoted a grandmother. Maybe they'll be raised by her. Certainly better hte grandmother than the father.

(15,682 posts)My mother died under circumstances that had a similar dynamic. Though it was the abortion that killed her, it was her fear of my father that drove her to make that dangerous (at the time) decision.

(15,682 posts)My sigline links to my mother's story, if you don't already know it.
It breaks my heart to see what is happening here in the US with the Violence Against Women Act expiring, and what feels like the rapid demise of full reproductive rights. I love that President Obama has been standing up for women. I can only hope he remembers us in all the craziness he'll be dealing with for the next four years and that women will run with the opportunity it has afforded us.

(21,691 posts)She did not abort a "baby." She aborted a pregnancy, and if one insists on discussing what was killed, it was either a zygote, embryo or fetus, depending how far along the pregnancy was. Babies don't live inside other people; they need air. If it had been a 'baby,' she would have delivered a possibly pre-term infant instead of aborting a pregnancy altogether.
