After a horrible murder in Brazil, a PREGNANT mother was horrifyingly discovered dead with her womb sliced open.
On Wednesday, police found the mangled remains of Ohana Karolin, 24, who had her stomach torn open and her genitals cut off.
They think the mother-of-three, who was seven months along in the delivery of her fourth child, might have been the victim of a ritual killing.
Traumatized onlookers in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo municipality of Mogi Guacu discovered her mangled corpse.
When police discovered Ohana’s dismembered body next to a pair of shorts, a pair of flip-flops, and many coins, she was only wearing a t-shirt.
According to local media accounts, her womb had been torn out and her stomach had been cut open.
The 24-year-old may have been “sacrificed” in a “macabre ritual,” according to investigators.
The unfortunate mother was discovered dead in Portal dos Lagos, a neighborhood surrounded by many kinds of evangelical churches.
Unknown is the state of the unborn child, who was apparently too early to have lived without medical help.
Following the shocking finding, Ohana’s ex-husband, the father of her children, was contacted to identify her body.
A friend claims that at around midnight on the day of the murder, she spotted the young mother inside a black automobile.
Other witnesses at the scene at roughly 3am the same day verified seeing what they believed to be the same vehicle.
Additionally, a second friend claimed to the local news outlet UOL that the mother-of-three had joined a “tough gang.”
According to reports, police are also looking into the possibility that the murderer was a boyfriend or ex-partner.
The Legal Medical Institute and the Institute of Criminalistics are conducting more research while the police continue their inquiry.
The incident was reported to the Mogi Guacu General Investigations Police Station as a homicide.
Municipal Civil Guards were only able to ascertain that a young woman who had already given birth to three children had passed away.
