A widow says she has to “carry on living for her baby” after her husband was killed when she was 17 weeks pregnant.

Sophie Ransom, 26, felt a “wife’s intuition” when she woke up without husband Paul, 25, next to her on the morning of May 24, 2023.

The mum-of-one says she lived on autopilot for the next month - but when she felt her baby kicking for the first time, she had a reason to carry on.
