A Norwegian man has been jailed for six years after slipping his girlfriend abortion pills without her knowing, causing her to miscarry later that day,
The dad-to-be allegedly spiked his girlfriend’s fruit smoothie with the pills, which he acquired after buying online.
A court heard that the woman was completely unaware that she was ingesting the pills. She later suffered from stomach cramps and miscarried that evening.
The man and woman had one child together before breaking up, but were expecting a second child after engaging in ‘casual sex’ with on another at a party.
The woman was in her 12th week of pregnancy when her ex fed her the pills.
The man- who has remained anonymous- told the Norwegian court: "I really didn't want another baby with her.
"I had a bad conscience and felt remorse about my actions, but I thought that it was the only way out."
He allegedly had already tried to abort the child in a failed attempt using the same method.
The woman had previously refused to have an abortion, telling the court: "He tried several times to convince me to have an abortion but it was not an option for me."
