US woman cuts baby from mother-to-be

A 34-year-old woman in the United States has been accused of stabbing a pregnant woman in the stomach and removing her baby, while the expectant mother visited her home to buy baby clothes, Colorado authorities said.

Officers called to the residence on Wednesday afternoon found the 26-year-old victim, who was seven months’ pregnant, stabbed and beaten, Longmont police Commander Jeff Satur told the Daily Times-Call newspaper.

She underwent surgery and is expected to recover, but the baby did not survive.

Satur said the suspect arrived at hospital with the baby and said she’d had a miscarriage.

The pregnant woman was at the home to buy baby clothes that were advertised for sale on Craigslist.

“This is a tragic case for a mother,” Satur said.

“She came by this house. She was attacked, and her baby was removed from her.”

Investigators have not released the names of the suspect or the pregnant woman but said they did not know each other.

The suspect was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, assault and child abuse resulting in death.
