In a tragic case that has left a community in mourning, a New York man was sentenced last week to 30 years in prison for fatally stabbing his pregnant wife and seriously injuring their two young daughters.
An act reportedly driven by his anger that the unborn child was not a boy.
Drew Garnier, 33, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and two counts of first-degree assault following a brutal September 2023 attack in the family’s home in upstate New York.
His wife, Samantha Garnier, 29, who was five months pregnant, and their unborn daughter died in the assault. Their daughters, Adelina, 9, and Izzie, 6, survived but sustained serious injuries.
The attack occurred just weeks before Samantha’s 30th birthday.
