WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMEING TO!! Woman 'murdered mother-to-be and cut her full-term baby alive from her womb'

A mother-to-be has been stabbed to death by another woman and her almost full-term baby cut from her womb, police have revealed.

Amazingly, the newborn infant survived the attack and is being treated in hospital in Spokane, Washington.

A 23-year-old woman has been arrested.


The 27-year-old victim, named in court documents as Araceli Camacho Gomez, had her hands and feet bound with yarn.

She suffered 'massive trauma to her stomach area' late on Friday night.

A postmortem showed she died of the chest wounds, but had other wounds 'consistent with the cutting of the body to remove an unborn child'.

Her body was found early on Saturday in a park in the city of Kennewick.

A woman, Phiengchai Sisouvanh Synhavong, has been arrested in connection with the murder.

She is accused of trying to pass the infant boy off as her own in calls made on Friday night to emergency dispatchers.


She is being held without bail, with another court appearance scheduled Wednesday.

Court documents say gloves soaked in blood, a boxcutter, bloody paper towels, yarn, baby bottle and baby socks were among some of the items found in Sisouvanh Synhavong's purse.


They didn't say whether the boxcutter was used to cut or stab Gomez and police refused to discuss details.

Court documents allege that Sisouvanh Synhavong called 911 at 11:04 p.m. Friday saying she was by JC Penney, had just given birth and that she thought the baby had died.

The call ended, but the woman called again a few minutes later.


Dispatchers were able to trace the calls, and she was found in a parking lot with the baby, holding what appeared to be an umbilical cord.


A 'significant amount of blood and pieces of human tissue' were found in the back seat, documents said.

The site was a mile or two from the spot where Gomez's body was later found, but it wasn't immediately clear whether Gomez was killed at the site where her body was found, or was killed elsewhere and the body dumped there.

Sisouvanh Synhavong and the baby were taken to Kennewick General Hospital, where medical tests showed she had not recently given birth.
