A teenager murdered a  20-year-old expectant mother in Tamaulipas, Mexico, and cut her baby from the womb.

The eight-months pregnant Nathaly Cartas Leon visited teen’s home to buy items for her nursery when she was attacked at the door. She was hit on her head and stabbed several times, and her baby cut from her womb, reported nydailynews.com

Though Leone was reported missing, the incident came to light only when the teenager turned up at a hospital claiming that the child was stillborn. She later confessed to police upon questioning.

Reportedly, the teenager was jealous of Leone as she had been in a relationship earlier and had been pregnant but had an abortion and was now regretting it.

Police discovered the mutilated body at her home.
