A pregnant woman was fatally strangled and stabbed to death on Friday in New York and her baby ripped from her womb.

 

Ashley Wade, 22, allegedly killed Angelikque Sutton and performed a makeshift Cesarean section on her at Wade's apartment in the Bronx, New York.

 

Wade is then said to have ripped the baby girl from her dead or dying mother's stomach and was found cradling the newborn child - who survived - by her boyfriend.  

 

It is believed that the mentally disturbed woman was trying to snatch Ms Sutton's baby because she had been telling neighbours she was pregnant.

 

Wade's boyfriend called the police after walking in on his maniacal partner holding the baby next to the body of Ms Sutton, 22, the New York Post reported.

 

"It looks like the baby was surgically removed,"Bronx councilman Andy King said.

 

According to the Associated Press, police arrived to the scene on Friday afternoon to find the victim stabbed multiple times in the abdomen. Police said the paranoid 22-year-old suspect claimed the baby she ripped off the woman's womb was hers. She was arrested at the scene.

 

"When the cops arrived, the perp claimed it was her child and that she gave birth during the struggle," New York City Councilman Andy King told NBC New York.

 

The victim was taken to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead. It was not immediately clear if the two women knew each other. The child survived the attack and investigators were working over the weekend to determine how far along in her pregnancy the victim was.

 

Charges against the suspect were pending while she underwent a psychological evaluation.
