Tributes to pregnant woman killed in street

This is the seven months pregnant woman who was stabbed to death in the street in a random attack in which her unborn child also died.

Claire Wilson, 22, was attacked by a stranger as she walked to work near the centre of Grimsby yesterday afternoon.

People at the scene said the suspect casually walked away from the incident "as cool as a cucumber" and just shrugged his shoulders when he was confronted. A 53-year-old man was later arrested.

Today, friends from the Pizza Hut where Miss Wilson worked laid flowers at the scene.

Dave Stembridge, 18, said: "She just didn't deserve it. She was one of the greatest people anyone would want to meet. She was just amazing. She's going to be missed so much. It's just not fair."

Lara Cole, 16, said Miss Wilson knew her child was going to be a girl and that she and her boyfriend Adam were excited about the birth.

"She was lovely," Lara said. "She always put a smile on everyone's face."
