Im surprised that other than one very short thread on Scotsnet there's been nothing about this. Marelle Sturrock, a school teacher, 30 weeks pregnant, murdered by her partner.

Absolutely tragic

I'm so tired of seeing these headlines over and over again.

It's tragic and rest in peace the pregnant teacher and her unborn child.

Men - stop killing women.

Poor woman so sad for her family

GreekDogRescue · 27/04/2023 17:11

When will this stop?
i am so tired of seeing these stories of men murdering women, it never improves.

BitOutOfPractice · 27/04/2023 17:13

Christ that poor woman and her poor baby. RIP Marelle.

when is this male violence against women and girls going to be taken seriously.

mrsmagician · 27/04/2023 17:14

I agree. I feel angry to see this happening time and again. The poor woman and her family and friends.

Bluebells1970 · 27/04/2023 17:15

I can't even begin to imagine how terrified she was, and the instinct to have protected her baby. I felt incredibly vulnerable when pregnant, and to think that her partner did this - the one person above everyone else that she should have been able to trust.

Fucking horrendous. My only hope is that the Police find him alive so he faces a lifetime of living with what he did.

Poor Marelle, what a terrifying end for her.

MorrisZapp · 27/04/2023 17:31

Heartbreaking. She was out with friends only hours before. I don't get it, I will never get it.

ThreeRingCircus · 27/04/2023 17:33

I just saw this on BBC News. That poor woman and her baby, her poor family. What a tragic, pointless waste.

I hope they find him alive so that he can be made to pay but unfortunately it's looking like he was too much of a coward to face the consequences of his actions.

@Bluebells1970 I am sorry to derail but did you hear about the northern Irish guy who faked a youtube live stream so he could murder his pregnant x Natalie and have an "alibi". Words just failed me

There needs to be a class or a module in school where they talk about how you might feel when a woman rejects you and how to deal with that. Crazy that this is needed but it is.

As soon as I heard she was pregnant I thought "And there it is".

I'm not going to say anymore because I'm too fucking angry and now is not the time.

RIP Marelle and baby Flowers Flowers

I hadn't thought of that. Oh god.

It just goes on and on.

I have no knowledge of the details of this women’s murder but men who murder their partners don’t necessarily have criminal records. They don’t necessarily have a long history of domestic violence. They haven’t necessarily moved from verbal abuse to progressively serious physical abuse and then to murder. They can have friends, jobs, be popular. They could be your neighbour. There’s no way to predict which men are going move from being emotionally abusive, controlling and threatening towards their partners to murdering them.

For women in relationships where you don’t feel safe, pregnancy raises the risk of physical violence and leaving is the most dangerous time. Please get help and get out safely.

This is so true and has been said many, many times over the years on here.

May Marelle and the baby RIEP. 💐

It’s awful. What a pathetic man. It very much sounds like he won’t be found alive.

Fuerza · 27/04/2023 18:23

Why was my comment deleted? Every time I went out with my friends, I paid for it. It is a trigger.i escaped my x, I was carefully planned. I know this subject sadly.

I think because it's speculation. I agree but perhaps best not to guess when even her family don't know what's happened.

fghj149 · 27/04/2023 18:44

RIP Marelle and little angel. Rot in hell to the vile individual that murdered them.

Fuerza · 27/04/2023 18:46

Apologies folks.

LiliLil · 27/04/2023 19:37

A body has been found in the water according to the thread on Scotsnet.

MenoRageisReal · 27/04/2023 19:39

I've seen this on the news (I'm in Scotland) and it just sickens me - I'm so heart sore for Marelle, her unborn baby and everyone who loved them both.

That man is scum. I don't think they'll find him alive either, the fucking cowardly shite.

TrishTrix · 27/04/2023 22:06

I saw this yesterday and thought I bet the person they are looking for is her partner.

Why the fuck do men keep doing this. It's pathetic.
