22-year-old pregnant woman fatally stabbed in the Bronx; two in custody

"It appears that the fetus of this woman was removed... surgically removed by the perpetrator".

The child survived the attack and investigators were working over the weekend to determine how far along in her pregnancy the victim was. She additionally was enrolled at Babies "R" Us and Target.

According to Andy King, local NY City councilman, police investigators believe that the infant girl had been cut from the pregnant woman's body.

One theory that police officers now have is that it might be a case of fetal abduction or baby snatching, whereby an unborn chid is kidnapped after a pregnant woman is killed. "This is an ugly incident that can not be condoned".

Wade allegedly slashed Sutton, also 22, across the neck then cut the baby from her womb as she lay dead or dying, the NY Post reported.

Terrified witnesses saw paramedics take Sutton out of the home on a stretcher. "I feel if she thinks killing a person and cutting a child out of is a serious problem if they think that was okay", King said.

Police found blood splattered on the property's staircase, in a second floor bathroom and on the door of a bedroom where the victim was found. Wade had reconnected with her, supposedly in order to rekindle their friendship, but the two got involved in a dispute. "Were there any survivors?"

Wade was arrested at the scene and is being held at Jacobi Medical Center.

Wade and Sutton went to school together, according to a relative of the victim.

Wade's boyfriend - who phoned 911 after walking into the blood-splattered apartment - was also being questioned Friday evening, authorities said. Her mother's dad is a pastor in the nearby Zion Hill Pentecostal Church. "The police just saw her earlier today", said one blasted neighbor.
