Abusive husband kills his pregnant wife & unborn son in their home
A pregnant 23-year-old Minnesota woman has been fatally

stabbed with a kitchen knife by her abusive husband.

According to charging documents, the sister of Lyuba Savenok watched in horror as Yevgeniy (Eugene) Savenok, 30, put her in a headlock and stabbed her in the throat in her Eden Prairie home on Saturday morning.

He then sped away from their house with their two other children, police said. The victim’s sister, who ran out to dial 911, saw her “lying inside on the floor with a knife protruding from her body,”

investigators said. Savenok turned himself in hours later at a hospital in St. Paul.
His wife, who police said he had assaulted last August, died from 12 stab wounds, according to her autopsy.

The pair’s expected baby boy died from premature birth following an emergency cesarean section at a hospital.

Prosecutors filed two counts of first-degree murder charges against Savenok, and he was booked into Hennepin County jail on a $5 million bail.

The murder followed a “turbulent domestic history” between Savenok and his wife, investigators said.
