Army bomb expert ‘tried to murder wife’ in car blast

A FORMER Army bomb disposal expert tried to murder his pregnant wife by planting a hand grenade in her car after she confronted him about his affair, a court heard yesterday.

Victoria Fabian, 33, suffered extensive leg injuries in the blast in a car park behind the home she shared with Nicholas Fabian, also 33, in Highview, Vigo, Kent.

Her eight-year-old son, who was in the car with her, got out of the passenger door unscathed while her unborn child also escaped unharmed, Maidstone Crown Court heard.
