Shock in south London after pregnant woman stabbed to death in broad daylight

An eight-months pregnant woman has been stabbed to death in South London and her child is in critical condition at a hospital. There have been over 30 knife attacks in the British capital this year.

Officers found a 26-year old woman with stab injuries inside a residential address in Croydon. Paramedics could not save her and had the baby delivered at the site and taken to hospital.

“This is a horrific incident in which a young mother has lost her life and her child is critically ill,” Detective Chief Inspector Mick Norman said.

As well as the 30-plus attacks in London so far this year, there were 135 knife assaults reported in 2018.

What many are calling a knife-stabbing epidemic has taken over 100 lives throughout the country this year alone. There have been a number of protests in the capital calling on the authorities to act on violent crimes.
