Natalie Queiroz, 40, was knifed 13 times in the chest and stomach when she was brutally attacked by fomer lover Babur Raja.

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.
