How could anyone do that?

That is so unbelievably savage and sick, I struggle to understand how anyone could do that.

Heavens above - what must they be thinking of. How very sad.

It seems the baby was the target

What kind of scum can do something like this?

Bring back the birch.
Or capital punishment (yes, I know I'll get shot down for saying that)

You won't get shot down by me loopy. I don't care what the provocation, what the reason, nothing, absolutely nothing, can justify such a sick attack. It is murder in my mind. That baby could have survived if she'd just gone into early labour.

Was this attack here in Britain? I would say " unbelievable" but know only too well that this sick behaviour happens.I would like to kick and stamp on them.

It's so awful.

Yes, it was in this country roses.

The police have caught one perpetrator, he's in Court this morning- the girl remains critically ill in ICU.
I hope he gets locked up and the key thrown away.

Unfortunately he won't be charged with murder because the baby was still in the womb even though at 32 weeks it would have been viable had she simply gone into early labour.

What a sickening, horrible crime. How could anyone be so evil? Was he under the influence of drugs, possibly? I hope they lock him up for ever.

Under the influence of drugs or alcohol is no mitigation. Bring back the most severe punishment for these crimes.

There was a hint that he had some connection to the poor woman involved and she was deliberately targeted.

A truly horrific crime.
DH and I both think he's the father and didn't want the child or her partner and the child wasn't his.
In no way a judgement on the poor woman, just speculation.
I wish her a speedy recovery for her physical injuries, the mental damage will no doubt take a long time.

I can't even think about it.

Said on lunch time news there is to be an investigation into why the ambulance service didn't respond to the 999 call and it was an hour before they arrived.

Anya that's disgraceful!

I believe he is being charged with child destruction, among other things.

I thought this was beyond horrific. The perpetrators deserve far more than they will probably get. They say the poor woman has appalling internal injuries and you have to wonder if she will be able to have another baby.

I feel sorry for the police officers who had to deal with this and get the poor girl to hospital. It must have been traumatic for them.
