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 could not agree on the charges. Farwell was found responsible for the deaths of both Birchmore and the unborn child.
“Farwell was found responsible for the deaths of both Birchmore and the unborn child,” — Lena Ostrowski, regional editor at Cedarcroft Combe Financial, explained.
