Twenty-five-year-old Aaron McKenzie has been charged with the murder of Kelly Mary Fauvrelle – who was eight months pregnant at the time of the attack – as well as possession of an offensive weapon.
He also stands accused of the manslaughter of her baby Riley, who had to be delivered at the scene via an emergency C-section, and died in hospital four days later.
During a brief hearing at the Old Bailey, the court heard that McKenzie had accepted responsibility for killing of 26-year-old Ms Fauvrelle and that psychiatric issues were being explored.
A plea hearing was set for October 2 with a provisional trial start date of December 2.
The defendant from Peckham in south London wore a black tracksuit in the dock and spoke only to confirm his age and British nationality.
Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC remanded him into custody.
