Sadistic' roofer who murdered his pregnant girlfriend in east London with scissors has sentence reduced
Briefly

This case highlights a tragic violent crime that has drastically affected the lives of the victims’ family, representing the dangers posed in volatile domestic situations.
Appeal judges found issues in the original sentencing that portrayed Liam Taylor's attack as sexual, despite there being no factual basis supporting that characterization.
Lawyers argued about the characterization of the crime, with some suggesting that the attack stemmed from a loss of temper rather than premeditated malice.
The reduction of Taylor's sentence from 27 to 25 years raises concerns about the justice system’s handling of crimes against women, particularly in domestic settings.
