Pregnant mother killed with womb cut out in 'macabre ritual' in Brazil

A pregnant woman has been found butchered with her genitals mutilated and her stomach ripped open in in what police believe may have been a ritual killing.

Ohana Karolin, 24, a mother-of-three from the municipality of Mogi Guacu in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, was seven months pregnant with her fourth child when she was killed on Wednesday.

Passers-by saw her maimed corpse with the womb cut out in Portal dos Lagos and alerted police, an area which is surrounded by evangelical churches of different denominations.
