Man Sentenced to Life for Murdering Pregnant Girlfriend in Birmingham

Filmon Andmichaen, 31, killed Liwam Bereket, 26, and her unborn child, receiving a minimum 27-year sentence for the premeditated act.

Filmon Andmichaen was convicted of murder and child destruction for fatally stabbing his pregnant girlfriend, Liwam Bereket, in August 2023.
The court heard that Andmichaen viewed the unborn baby as a 'complication' and delayed calling for help after the attack, leading to both deaths.
Evidence showed Andmichaen attempted to dispose of the murder weapon and withheld critical assistance that could have saved Bereket's life.
Friends and neighbors had previously expressed concerns over Andmichaen’s abusive behavior toward Bereket, including physical violence.
The judge condemned Andmichaen’s actions as 'callous and cowardly,' emphasizing his lack of remorse and sentencing him to serve at least 27 years in prison.
