Life in jail for killing pregnant partner

A father of one who strangled the mother of his unborn son has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of her murder.

Stephen Cahoon, aged 39, also known as Stephen Moore, admitted strangling Jean Teresa Quigley, a mother of four who was 10 weeks pregnant, on Saturday, Jul 26, 2008.

However, the unemployed labourer from Magherafelt but with an address at Harvey St, Co Derry, pleaded not guilty to murdering his 30-year-old ex-girlfriend in her home at Cornshell Fields, Derry.
