The alleged killer of a heavily pregnant woman and her baby son has appeared in court.
Aaron McKenzie, 25, is accused of murdering eight months pregnant Kelly Mary Fauvrelle, 26, who was stabbed to death in her house in Thornton Heath, south London, on June 29.
He is also accused of the manslaughter of her baby son, named Riley by relatives after paramedics delivered him at the scene, who died in hospital four days later.
McKenzie, from Peckham, south London, was arrested on Thursday and appeared at Camberwell Magistrates' Court, where he is also charged with possession of a knife, on Monday.
He stood in the dock, wearing dark blue jeans and a grey sweater, with his arms folded during the brief hearing.
McKenzie, of Peckham Park Road, confirmed his name, date of birth and that he is British, but did not give his address.
