Chicago Pregnant teenager strangled, baby cut from her womb
Four yet-to-be-identified suspects are expected to be charged today in the brutal murder of a pregnant 19 year whose baby was cut from her body.

Compounding the tragedy, Marlen Ochoa-Lopez’s baby is in “grave condition” with “severe brain damage.”

Ochoa-Lopez went missing April 23 after telling friends she had one quick errand to run before going to daycare to pick up her 3-year-old son.

“Nine months pregnant, Ochoa-Lopez drove to a home on the Southwest Side [of Chicago] where a woman she met through Facebook was offering a double stroller and maybe some baby clothes,” the Washington Post’s Katherine Rosenberg-Douglas, Rosemary Sobol, Jessica Villagomez, Jeremy Gorner reported. “Once inside, police say Ochoa-Lopez was strangled and her baby boy cut from her womb.”

According to police, one of the suspects is a 46-year-old woman.  Click here for more.
