Daniel Mihai Popescu has been sentenced to 17 years and four months in prison, with an additional three years on licence, for the attempted murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Andreea Pintili. The incident occurred in Aberfan, South Wales, on December 5 last year. Popescu, a 29-year-old factory worker, became obsessed with Pintili, who was 37 weeks pregnant at the time. He stalked her before attacking her with a large knife. The court heard that Popescu texted his sister in Romania, expressing violent intentions towards Pintili before the attack. The sentencing took place at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court.
