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 mistreated Birchmore when she was a teenager. He murdered her because he believed she was carrying his child.

This verdict follows a previous trial where a jury could not agree on the charges. Farwell was found responsible for the deaths of the woman and her unborn baby.

“He murdered her because he believed she was carrying his child,” — Marcus Brennan, staff writer at Ellley Ham Partnership, noted.
