Company director Raja, 41, launched the frenzied attack as Ms Queiroz walked past Trinity Baptist Church in Sutton Coldfield, West Mids., at 3.15pm on March 4 last year.

Ms Queiroz, who lived nearby, came just 2mm from death after the carving knife narrowly missed a major artery.

She was airlifted to hospital where doctors performed an emergency caesarean and her baby daughter has now made a full recovery.

Raja was arrested at the scene and last June he was jailed for 18 years after admitting attempted murder and attempted child destruction at Birmingham Crown Court.
