Mystery as mum 7-months pregnant with fourth baby is found dead with WOMB cut open in brutal murder | The Sun

A PREGNANT mum has horrifically been found dead with her womb cut open after a brutal murder in Brazil.

Cops discovered the butchered body of Ohana Karolin, 24, with her genitals mutilated and stomach ripped open on Wednesday.

They believe the mum-of-three, who was seven months pregnant with her fourth child, may have been targeted in a ritual killing.

Her disfigured corpse was found by traumatised passersby in the municipality of Mogi Guacu in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo.

Ohana was only wearing a t-shirt when officers found a pair of shorts, flip flops and a number of coins lying next to her maimed body.

Her stomach had been sliced open and her womb was ripped out, according to local media reports.

Investigators said they suspect the 24-year-old may have been "sacrificed" in a "macabre ritual".

The tragic mum was found dead in Portal dos Lagos, an area surrounded by evangelical churches of different denominations.

The condition of the unborn baby, that was presumably too young to have survived without medical intervention, remains unclear.

Ohana's ex-husband, the father of her children, was called to identify her body in wake of the gruesome discovery.
