A jury ruled that former police officer Matthew Farwell was guilty of all charges. The charges are linked to the 2021 deaths of Sandra Birchmore and her unborn baby. Farwell abused Birchmore when she was a teenager. He killed her because he believed she was carrying his child.
This verdict comes after a previous trial where a jury failed to reach a verdict on the charges. Farwell was convicted in the deaths of the woman and her unborn baby.
