Family of girl who vanished 55 years ago give ultimatum to ‘person of interest’

The "utterly inhumane" and "deeply disturbing" violence shown towards a vulnerable young girl led her to tragically lose her unborn child. Stefan Marin "punched, kicked, strangled and scalded" the victim, "targeting her stomach despite her desperate attempts to protect her unborn child". Marin, 19, of New George Street, Hull, was convicted unanimously by a jury of child destruction, grievous bodily harm with intent, non-fatal strangulation, false imprisonment, and perverting the course of justice following a nine-day trial. Hull Crown Court heard how he attacked the girl over a four-hour period on March 13 this year. Then, despite initially refusing to let her leave, Marin made the 17-year-old girl get dressed in clean clothes before forcing her to get out of the flat where the assault took place, knowing her family would soon become concerned that she had not returned home or made contact.
