An abusive boyfriend viciously stabbed and strangled the mother of his children to death while out on bail — which was posted by a Portland defund-the-police group, authorities said Wednesday.
Mohamed Adan, 36, had been behind bars for repeatedly beating his girlfriend, Racheal Abraham, in August 2022, when the now-defunct group of police abolitionists set him free, according to oregonlive.com
“The Portland Freedom Fund, thinking it knew better than law enforcement professionals, decided to bail him out,” senior prosecutor Melissa Marrero said at his sentencing hearing Tuesday. “It cost her her life.”

Abraham, 36, who had two kids with Adan, had begged a judge not to release him after he strangled and punched her twice in the head while high on methamphetamine and cocaine in May 2022, the paper reported.
“Statistics show that strangulation cases lead to homicide,” Abraham said in a statement, read aloud in court roughly two months before she was murdered. “I don’t want to be a victim.”
