A district court in Denmark has sentenced a man to life imprisonment and subsequent preventive detention after stabbing his pregnant girlfiend to death in 2016.
The court, which made the announcement through a statement it issued out to media houses, said the now 30-year-old man is said to have stabbed the woman 11 times with a knife in a park near Copenhagen and then cut off a piece of her nose.
The man denied committing the crime and his defence lawyer said that he would appeal against the judgment of the court.
It was gathered that the murder weapon has still not been found and there is no technical evidence such as fingerprints or DNA to prove the man’s guilt.
In 2020, in other to unravel the truth on the murder, the police deployed an undercover investigator as a cellmate of the suspect, who was serving a prison sentence for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend.
The undercover investigator recorded the man describing how he had killed the pregnant woman, which contributed to the court’s decision to find him guilty.
