**Tragic Tale: Convicted Murderer Strikes Again**
In a shocking turn of events, Shaine March, already convicted of a past murder, has admitted to the brutal stabbing of his pregnant girlfriend, Alana Odysseos, in Walthamstow. Alana, aged 32 and expecting her third child, tragically lost her life after being attacked 19 times by March, who was out on licence at the time.
March, who previously took the life of a man in a McDonald’s back in 2000, had been released from prison and was under licence. Despite attempts to claim diminished responsibility, he has now confessed outright to the murder of Alana.
This devastating incident unfolded after an argument between the couple over whether to continue with their pregnancy, with Alana’s heartfelt plea, “I don’t want to kill my baby,” tragically echoing in the aftermath of the attack. Neighbours responded swiftly, calling emergency services upon hearing her cries for help, but despite their quick response, Alana succumbed to her injuries on the street outside her home.
Before being apprehended, March left a chilling voice note admitting his crime, stating, “Mum, I just killed a woman, and I’m going back to jail.” The court has now remanded him until sentencing on October 31st.
This heart-wrenching story highlights flaws in the system and raises questions about the safety of releasing violent offenders on licence. Our thoughts go out to Alana’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
