A paramedic who secretly gave his pregnant lover an abortion drug, killing her unborn child, has been told he faces a lengthy jail sentence.
Married Stephen Doohan carried out the evil action after the woman told him she was having his baby.
The 33-year-old, who was a clinical team leader with the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS), crushed pills into a syringe before administering the medication at his home in Edinburgh’s upmarket Grange area.
The woman fell ill after he gave her more of the drug days later. It later emerged she had lost the baby because of his actions.
She eventually reported Doohan to the SAS having recorded a conversation of him effectively confessing.
