Couple Accused of Cutting Baby Out of Womb and Dumping the Body

In a truly shocking and gruesome crime, a barren couple has been arrested for allegedly cutting a near-term baby out of a kidnapped pregnant woman and dumping her corpse on a Mexican ranch!

The 20-year-old pregnant Mexican woman was allegedly abducted and murdered by the couple who, unable to have a child of their own, sought to take one in the most ghastly way imaginable!

The suspected murderers, a man and a woman identified by Ministerial Police as Gonzalo “N” and Veronica “N,” allegedly made contact with Rosa Isela Castro Vázquez on social media and offered to provide her with baby clothes.

Vázquez, eight months pregnant, reportedly agreed to meet the couple, whose intentions appear to have been anything but beneficent.

The Daily Mail reported that footage of the initial encounter on Nov. 30 near an airport in the Mexican state of Veracruz shows the female suspect looking around furtively while speaking to the victim.

After this brief encounter, the victim reportedly entered a vehicle — the last time she would be seen alive.

According to the local press (AFP), the suspects allegedly slashed open Vázquez and ripped her baby from her body; they then proceeded to strangle the bleeding mother to death.

An official who spoke to the AFP anonymously indicated that the female suspect had been unable to have a child herself and, instead of adopting or pursuing other legal ways to become a parent, instead she chose to steal a baby in this most brutally horrific fashion.

Vázquez’s corpse was found at the “Los Arrieros” ranch in the town of Rancho del Padre, in the municipality of Medellín de Bravo.

The baby girl survived the grisly ordeal and was found in the couple’s possession at the time of their arrest.

The attorney general of the state of Veracruz issued a statement on Dec. 3 indicating that the newborn “was rescued safe and sound and is now receiving attention from the relevant authorities.”

The suspects, accused of kidnapping and femicide, have been denied bail. They face additional charges for failure to deliver the newborn baby to authorities or to her relatives.

According to the AFP, over 3,700 women were murdered in Mexico last year. 1,000 of those murders were classed as femicides, defined as the “intentional murder of women because they are women.”

Vázquez’s horrific slaying comes one month after 29-year-old Taylor Parker was sentenced to death by a Texas jury for murdering Reagan Simmons-Hancock and stealing her unborn baby, Braxlynn Sage Hancock, who also perished in the attack.

NBC News reported that the jury didn’t need much more than an hour to determine what punishment to mete out to Parker, whom the victim’s mother called an “evil piece of flesh demon.”

In an alleged effort to keep her boyfriend, Parker had pretended to be pregnant, going so far as to fake ultrasounds and hold a gender-reveal party. Committed to the farce, the murderer ultimately killed a friend and her baby girl.
