Nightclub bouncer Carl Whant was last night charged with the murder of teenager Nikitta Grender and the “child destruction” of her unborn baby.
Whant, 26 – a cousin of Nikitta’s boyfriend Ryan Mayes – will appear before magistrates tomorrow.
Nikitta, 19, of Newport, Gwent, had been due to give birth this coming Thursday, Ryan’s 18th birthday.
Use of the child destruction charge, which dates from 1929, is rare.
District Crown Prosecutor Stacey Turner said: “Offences relating to unborn children fall outside the scope of murder legislation.
“Therefore in respect of Nikitta Grender’s unborn child, we have advised Gwent Police to charge Carl Whant with the offence of child destruction under the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929.”
Nikitta was stabbed twice in the bedroom she shared with Ryan early last Saturday. The flat was set on fire.
