A Naval officer has been convicted of murdering his pregnant girlfriend<\/a> and dumping her body on the side of a Virginia road.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Coble, 27, killed Raquiah King<\/a> in 2022 after she refused to have an abortion. King’s body was found naked with a bullet wound in her side. She was 12 weeks pregnant<\/a>, and had told her mother before she died that Coble was the father. She also knew he was angry, telling her mother that if anything happened to her, he was responsible.<\/p>\n

King’s cousin provided a receipt for Planned Parenthood; Coble paid for King to have an abortion, but once there, King decided she couldn’t go through with it, and left. He admitted all of this to police, including that he was frustrated that she didn’t get the abortion, but initially didn’t admit to killing King. But when police searched his car, they found blood in the backseat.<\/p>\n
