A teenage girl has been accused of killing a pregnant young
woman and cutting her unborn baby from her womb because she regretted aborting
her own child.
Nathaly Cartas Leon, 20, was searching for nursery items on
Facebook when she came into contact with Guadalupe Salinas Hernandez, 17.After chatting online, eight-months
pregnant Nathaly went to Hernandez's house to meet the teenager.But Hernandez is said to have attacked her as soon as she
walked in, hitting her over the head with a blunt instrument and stabbing her several
times.
She died instantly and her child was then apparently cut
from her womb.
The horrific killing which
happened in the city of Reynosa, in the north-eastern Mexican state of
Tamaulipas, has left the country in a state of shock.Although Nathaly had been reported missing, it was only when
Hernandez turned up in hospital claiming the baby stillborn that her alleged
involvement came to light.Doctors quickly realised that she was not the mother of the
child, as she claimed.They could also tell that the baby had not died of natural
causes, but that it had suffocated in the womb after the death of its mother.Hernandez was interviewed by police, who
said she confessed the baby belonged to a woman she had killed days earlier.Officers later discovered the mutilated body at her home.She had been in a relationship, but when she fell pregnant
she opted to have an abortion.According to police, she planned to present another baby as
her own.Via. mirror uk
