<p>A cheating former reservist soldier has been jailed for life after being found guilty of trying to murder his pregnant wife by booby-trapping a car with a hand grenade.</p>
<p>A judge said Nicholas Fabian, 33, was &#8220;wicked beyond belief&#8221; for trying to blow up nurse Victoria Fabian by planting the explosive device in a wheel-arch by the driver&#8217;s footwell.</p>
<p>Detectives believe Fabian &#8211; who was due to be deployed to Afghanistan &#8211; tried to murder her so he could &#8220;clear the decks&#8221; and set up a new life with his mistress, Jackie Phillips.</p>
<p>The explosion happened as Mrs Fabian, also 33, started to drive away in the borrowed Mazda near the family home in Highview, Vigo, Kent, on March 5 last year.</p>
<p>Her eight-year-old son, who was also in the car, managed to get out unscathed while her unborn child also survived unharmed. Mrs Fabian, who was 24 weeks pregnant at the time, eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy three months later.</p>
<p>On Thursday, jurors took just an hour to convict Fabian of attempted murder and causing an explosion likely to endanger life.</p>
<p>Sentencing him on Friday at Maidstone Crown Court, Judge Andrew Patience QC said he must serve a minimum of 16 years behind bars for the attempted murder conviction. He passed a 15-year concurrent sentence for the explosion charge.</p>
<p>The judge told him: &#8220;What you did in causing that explosion, with the consequences which flowed from it on March 5 last year, was wicked beyond belief. You conceived a plan to rid yourself of your wife which demonstrated low cunning in its planning and preparation, and utter heartlessness and chilling ruthlessness in its execution.&#8221;</p>
<p>The judge added: &#8220;You are an evil man who was prepared to destroy at least one human life in order to achieve your own selfish ends. Not only are you evil but you present a danger to the general public.&#8221;</p>
<p>Judge Patience said it was inevitable that, later in life, his son would find out that he tried to harm him when he was still unborn. Mrs Fabian faces a life-time of physical pain and will not fully function again, the judge added.</p>
