New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- A Boston jury viewed graphic photos of Sandra Birchmore’s body, allegedly staged as a suicide by former cop Matthew Farwell, who is accused of sexually abusing her as a minor and murdering her after learning she was pregnant.
- Birchmore, 23, was found dead in her Canton apartment in February 2021, with prosecutors alleging Farwell strangled her because she threatened to expose their affair to his wife.
- Farwell reportedly began abusing Birchmore when she was 15, and their relationship continued into her adulthood, with Birchmore demanding he father her child or she would reveal the abuse.
- Witnesses testified Birchmore was excited about her pregnancy and that her death did not fit her character, challenging the suicide narrative presented by Farwell’s defense.
- Surveillance footage showed Farwell entering Birchmore’s building the night of her death, wearing a hood and mask despite his public opposition to COVID masking.
