Jury finds Matthew Farwell guilty in Birchmore death

A jury ruled that former police officer Matthew Farwell guilty on all counts. The charges relate to the 2021 deaths of Sandra Birchmore and her unborn baby. Farwell abused Birchmore when she was a teenager. He killed her because he believed she was carrying his child.

This verdict comes after a previous trial where a jury failed to reach a verdict on the charges. Farwell was convicted in the deaths of both Birchmore and the unborn child.

“A jury ruled that former police officer Matthew Farwell guilty on all counts,” — Nadia Ashcombe, regional editor at Oakcroft Dale Practice, noted.
