Mexican Couple Cuts the Unborn Baby from Womb
Mexican authorities said on Monday that an 8-month-old pregnant woman Rosa Isela Castro Vazquez, 20 years old, was kidnapped by a Mexican couple. They sliced her stomach and stole the baby. Vasquez later died while the baby miraculously survived.
The gruesome and heinous crime occurred on Nov. 30 in Mexico’s eastern state of Veracruz. The suspects were identified by Mexican officials only as Gonzalo and Veronica “N.” Both of them are facing criminal charges of kidnapping and femicide.
In a published article in PEOPLE, the Mexican couple lure the pregnant woman through social media and told her that they will give her some hand-me-down baby clothes. Luckily, a surveillance camera caught showed Vazquez meeting the suspects outside the pharmacy and being escorted into a car that helped to identify the suspects.
However, the Attorney General’s online statement that the pregnant woman’s body was later found at the Los Arrieros ranch with the unborn child cut off from her womb.
