In a grim story of biblical violence, a 22-year-old woman, who was eight and a half months pregnant, was stabbed to death by her childhood friend. The woman then cut the baby out of her. The baby – a girl – is still alive.
Ashleigh Wade, who lived in the Bronx, was excited about her pregnancy, as was the father of her unborn child. He posted to Instagram a photo of the sonogram of their unborn child and even their landlord knew they were expecting.
Davon Warren told WABC: ‘She told me, I saw her – I knew she was pregnant.’
But it turns out she never was pregnant. Her friend, Angelique Sutton (pictured) was, though.
When Angelique visited Wade at her apartment on Friday afternoon, Wade stabbed her repeatedly and then carved the baby out of her stomach. Wade told police that she was the pregnant one, that the baby was hers and that she had killed Angelique in self-defence. But once the blood was cleared up, police discovered something closer to the truth – Wade had never been pregnant.
Wade has been charged with second degree murder and manslaughter, and is currently being held in the pysch ward at the Elmhurst Hospital, Queens, New York.
