    ST. CLOUD, Minn. (TCN) -- Following a guilty plea, a 26-year-old man has been convicted of two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of his girlfriend and their unborn child in September 2025.According to a press release from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office, Saleebaan Mohamed Abdirisaaq pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing his girlfriend, 24-year-old Falus Ali, on Sept. 23, 2025. Ali was pregnant with their child at the time. Abdirisaaq retrieved a knife from the dishwasher and stabbed the victim several times in the neck, chest, and arm. According to a criminal complaint obtained by MSN, Ali was stabbed 34 times. Prior to the fatal stabbing, Abdirisaaq and Ali had gotten into an argument, KNSI reports. After the stabbing, which was witnessed by the couple’s 3-year-old, Abdirisaaq called 911 and said he wanted to turn himself in. When officers responded, they found Abdirisaaq waiting outside with his hands up. He said, “It’s me, I’m right here.”Ali was 17 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed.
