Absolutely heartbreaking.
The baby of a pregnant woman who was murdered in London has sadly passed away, police have said.
Kelly Mary Fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was killed in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Paramedics delivered the 26-year-old’s unborn baby – who was later named Riley by family members – at the scene in Croydon, south London, before rushing him to hospital.
Sadly, it was announced on Wednesday morning that he had passed away.
Detective Chief Inspector Mick Norman said:
“This morning, we heard the sad news that Kelly’s baby son, Riley, has died in hospital. Our thoughts remain with their family.”
It comes as cops released CCTV footage showing a man heading towards Ms. Fauvrelle’s around 3.15am. He can also be seen running away moments later.
Police appealed for anyone who may know the man’s identity to get in contact.
Detective Chief Inspector Mick Norman added:
“This tragic development makes it even more important that anyone with information comes forward as a matter of urgency.
“We have released footage as the next step in what has been a fast-paced, and extremely challenging investigation.
“We need to identify the man shown in the images urgently, even if only to eliminate him from our enquiries. I need to hear from anyone who knows who he is. If this is you, it is imperative that you contact my team immediately.”
DCI Norman added that a team of detectives are working “day and night” on the investigation, and that they’re going to do everything they can to find the person responsible.
He also appealed for any witnesses, CCTV or footage or anyone with any information at all that could assist, to come forward.
He added:
“A dedicated team of detectives are working day and night on this investigation.
“We have assured Kelly’s family – and I want to assure local residents and the wider public too – that we are doing absolutely everything in our power to find the person responsible.”
