A pregnant Mexican woman has died after she was cut open by two assailants who
stole her unborn baby, authorities have said.

perpetrators were arrested with a newborn in their possession, the Attorney
General’s office in the eastern state of Veracruz said in a statement.
The suspects, a man and a woman, appeared before a judge on Monday
accused of kidnapping and femicide.

They allegedly sliced open the victim to extract the fetus because the woman
attacker was unable to have children herself, an official linked to the
investigation told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The victim was
lured to her death through social media with a promise of clothes for her
baby, relatives told local media, which said that it was the third case of its
kind in recent years.
More than 3,700 women were murdered in
violence-plagued Mexico in 2021, of which around 1,000 were classified as
femicides, according to official figures.
