Nicholas Baig is currently serving life in prison for killing his wife, who was nine months pregnant with the couple’s daughter at the time of her death. But in Canada, the criminal code does not recognize as a crime the death of an undelivered child during a homicide or other violent attack; therefore Baig faced no charges in the baby girl’s death.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Arianna Goberdhan, 27, was thrilled<\/a> to be expecting her first child \u2014\u00a0a girl named Asaara. But on April 7, 2017, Baig stabbed Goberdhan to death, killing both her and Asaara. Mother and daughter were cremated together, and though Baig was charged with Goberdhan’s murder, her family was angry there was no justice for Asaara.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was perfect. She weighed eight pounds,” Sherry Goberdhan, Goberdhan’s mother, said of Asaara in an interview with DurhamRegion.com. \u201cJustice will never be served. We will not get [our] child or our grandchild back.\u201d<\/p>\n
