Father of unborn child allegedly killed pregnant Eagan woman

A Brooklyn Park man fatally stabbed the woman who was carrying his unborn son in an attack in her Eagan apartment that also killed the nearly full-term fetus, according to charges filed Thursday.

“This was a violent attack that has resulted in the senseless and tragic deaths of a young woman and her unborn child,” County Attorney James Backstrom said in announcing the second-degree murder charges against 23-year-old Vern J. Mouelle in the deaths of Senicha M. Lessman, 25, and the son she had been carrying for 32 weeks.
