A young man has been sentenced to life in prison for brutally attacking his heavily pregnant ex-girlfriend, causing her to miscarry.

Kevin Wilson, a 22-year-old teaching assistant, and a 17-year-old boy were convicted of child destruction and causing grievous bodily harm to Malorie Bantala on June 15 last year.

Judge Mark Lucraft QC sentenced him Wilson to life with a minimum term of 16 years, and his accomplice to 10 years in detention with a further four years on extended licence.
Wilson recruited the teen to help him attack Bantala after she refused to have an abortion, the Old Bailey heard.
FILE PICTURE - Heavily pregnant Malorie Bantala, 21, lost her baby and is fighting for her life after being repeatedly kicked in the stomach by two thugs wearing motorbike helmets in Peckham, south east London. A father-to-be who killed his unborn baby by repeatedly kicking and punching his heavily pregnant ex-girlfriend was today facing life behind bars. Brutal thug Kevin Wilson, 22, repeatedly stamped on Malorie Bantala's stomach after failing to convince her to abort their child, claiming he was not ready for fatherhood. Miss Bantala, also 22, was ambushed in a street in Peckham, south east London, by Wilson and a 17-year-old youth, both clad in motorcycle helmets, on 15th June last year. While the young mum-to-be was left with life-threatening injuries, her baby boy was delivered stillborn at Kings College Hospital by emergency Caesarean section just hours later at 32 weeks gestation. Today Miss Bantala was present at the Old Bailey for the imminent sentencing of Wilson and the youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, after they were convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent and child destruction last year. Tyrone Smith QC, for Wilson, said his client maintains his innocence

Bantala, 22, described her unborn son Joel as the ‘real victim’, telling the court: ‘The moment Joel died inside me I lost everything, literally. Life as I knew it no longer made sense



 On the day of the assault Bantala, who was working in M&S and was eight months pregnant at the time, had been out buying decorations for her baby shower. She got home to Peckham, south-east London, at around 8pm.
As she was heading towards her flat, Wilson and his teen accomplice emerged from nearby bushes where they had hidden, wearing crash helmets as a disguise.
They viciously kicked and stamped on Bantala’s stomach as she lay huddled on the ground, desperately trying to protect her unborn baby with one hand.

Giving evidence, she told jurors: ‘I remember looking at him and then something clicked in my mind and I said “Oh shit, it’s Kevin”. He turned round and we made brief eye contact.
‘I didn’t have time to think anything because by the time I knew it, I was on the floor. Kevin proceeded to kick my stomach, probably three or four times and then he stamped on my stomach twice.
‘By then I had screamed ‘Kevin’ for him to stop but he continued to kick my stomach. They were harsh kicks.’
The attackers were seen on CCTV fleeing the area on a scooter, running a red light in their rush back to Wilson’s estate a mile and a half away in Bermondsey.

Family and neighbours ran to help Bantala, but her baby boy was already dead.
She was rushed to King’s College Hospital, where she was treated for potentially-fatal internal bleeding, and two broken fingers on the hand she used to try and shield her baby.
Wilson apologised for his behaviour, and told jurors: ‘When I look back on it now, I could have behaved much better.’

As the verdict was delivered in December, Bantala lashed out at Wilson in the dock and said: ‘I hate you. Drop dead.’
She also said that  baby Joel would have been ‘100 times the man Kevin would ever be’.

  Few days ago I went to Everyday supermarket at GRA to get some stuffs, as we drove pass where they sell chicken, I saw a lady that used to live on my street, first of all I was surprised to see her because it's been ages, and then again I was staring at her face and was wondering what went wrong. This lady used to be one of the prettiest ladies on my street, smooth skin, fine legs and all. Every man wanted this lady at the time. There was a particular guy that did everything he could to get her but didn't and I'm in front of her and I'm thinking if that guy sees her now he won't even give her a second look. One thing I liked about her  then was her personality she was a very sweet and cheerful lady. I looked at this lady and was wondering why she's not beautiful anymore. A lot of questions went through my mind at the time. Was she sick? Is she married? If yes is she married to a monster or is she Divorced? Did she lose her job? Then It hit me rega...

FACING MY FEAR

Image
Welcome to my blog, Wow!!!! It feels good saying "my blog"!  I know that I am nervous and excited at the same time, but nothing can be compared to the joy that I am feeling right now. Words cannot explain my feeling of accomplishment. I honestly can't believe that I am starting my own blog, it's like a dream, somebody should just pinch me. Lol!! Before I bore you guys with my excitement and the phrase "my blog" let me share the reason for this excitement.  Over the years  my friends have asked me  why I am not blogging  and the answer I always gave them was that I am not a good writer neither am I a grammarian. I always see myself as not having what it takes to be a blogger.  The more I thought about blogging, the more I loved the idea but what to write or how to put my thoughts in writing has always been my major fear so i've always shoved the idea of blogging aside.  My friends will always say to me  "Chika you're doing great on fa...

Pains of Nene.

  I was watching a Nollywood movie " pains of Nene", and I was wondering why some married women actually allow a third party in the name of friends ruin their home. The movie basically is about a married woman who befriends a group of women despite her mother's warnings. She takes every bit of advice they give to her not realising their hidden agenda to send her out of her husband's house so they can lay their hands on her husband's wealth. First of all the man is everything a woman desires. He's rich, handsome, caring, he's faithful, a loving father to their kids, he spoils her silly with money he's the perfect man with no flaws. You know the kind of man you only see in the movies. Yep!! That movie perfect man. Bottom-line they succeeded in sending her out of her matrimonial home and planted a lady in the home to help them with their evil plans.   they are always the first to tell you all he did wrong.     I don't need soothsayers t...
