Andreea Pintilli, a 29-year-old heavily pregnant woman, has been named as the victim of a brutal stabbing in Aberfan, South Wales.

Fortunately, both Pintilli and her baby survived the attack, with their injuries reported as non-life-threatening.
The suspect, a 28-year-old man who is known to the victim, was arrested after a seven-hour manhunt. Prior to his arrest, he allegedly posted videos of Pintilli online. Police are currently questioning him in connection with the attack. Chief Inspector Rob Miles assured the community that the incident was targeted, and there is no immediate threat to the public.
Pintilli’s ex-partner described her as a devoted mother who worked part-time to support their two children.
