Hull Man Jailed for Brutal Attack That Killed Unborn Son
A 19-year-old from Hull has been locked up for a horrific assault that tragically ended the life of his unborn child. Stefan Marin of Kingston upon Hull was found guilty of child destruction, grievous bodily harm, strangulation, forced imprisonment, and perverting the course of justice.
Rare Child Destruction Conviction Lands 16-Year Sentence
On 30 January, Hull Crown Court sentenced Marin to 16 years behind bars, plus an additional four years on licence. This rare child destruction conviction is just the fourth secured by the Crown Prosecution Service in England and Wales over the last decade — highlighting the gravity of the crime.
Damning CCTV and Phone Records Seal Marin’s Fate
The two-week trial featured unshakable evidence. Prosecutors presented the victim’s heartbreaking testimony, backed by expert medical reports confirming severe injuries. Despite Marin’s denials, CCTV footage captured him with the victim moments before a 999 call was made by her grandmother — just three minutes later. Phone records confirmed the timeline, proving Marin’s guilt beyond doubt.
