Alana Odysseos, 32, was pregnant with her third child when she was killed by Shaine March in July last year
A man who murdered his pregnant girlfriend after being released from prison on licence has been jailed for 42 years.
Alana Odysseos, 32, was in the early stages of pregnancy with her third child when she was killed by Shaine March last year at her home in Walthamstow, east London. She died at the scene from stab wounds after the attack on 22 July 2024.
March, 47, of Surrey Quays, south-east London, admitted her murder on the seventh day of his trial after an expert no longer supported his claim of diminished responsibility.
Odysseos was among the women whose deaths were included in the Guardian’s Killed women count – a project highlighting the toll and tragedy of femicide in the UK. She was described as a “brilliant mother” who “completely doted” on her daughters.
