Aw.... that's so sad. I thought as the child was 8 months along it might have stood a chance.

I think as mum was in cardiac arrest when he was delivered he had probably been without oxygen for too long.

Or it also suffered stab wounds.

Police believe the woman may not have known her attacker and this could be a random attack.
