A Scottish paramedic who secretly gave a pregnant woman an abortion has been jailed for 10 and a half years.

Stephen Doohan concocted the sick plan after the unnamed woman told him she was having his baby.

The 33-year-old, who was a Clinical Team Leader with the Scottish Ambulance Service, was married at the time.

He crushed pills into a syringe before administering the medication as she lay on a bed at his home in Edinburgh’s upmarket Grange area in 2023.
