Show Notes
In November 2019, 28 year old Jennifer Rothwell was killed by husband Beau Rothwell – she was six weeks pregnant with his baby.
Having googled "What to do if your husband is upset you are pregnant” before she was killed Jennifer wasn’t sure if Rothwell wanted their baby.
Although he claimed he didn’t plan the murder, Rothwell was clearly an escapee family annihilator who planned to kill his wife and unborn child to continue a life with another woman. He is now serving life in prison.
This is the story of Jennifer Rothwell.
