Man who strangled pregnant ex-girlfriend faces third trial

A man whose conviction for murdering his pregnant ex-girlfriend was quashed in March faces a third trial for her killing despite an appeal by his lawyers that a second retrial would not be justified.

Stephen Cahoon (aged 42), with a last address at Harvey Street, Derry, Northern Ireland, admitted strangling mother-of-four Jean Teresa Quigley (aged 30), who was 10-weeks pregnant at the time, on July 26, 2008 but denied it was murder.
