A newborn baby girl cut from her pregnant mother’s womb when she was murdered by suspected human traffickers has been recovered by cops in Mexico.

Rosa Isela Castro Vazquez, 20, was eight months pregnant and looking for donated baby clothes when she was kidnapped while near the Veracruz Airport in Mexico, with her family last in touch with her on 30th November.

Rosa Isela had gone to meet a woman who had reportedly contacted her on social media to offer her baby clothes, according to her sister, whose name was not made public.

Her lifeless body was later found in the town of Medellin de Bravo, in the Mexican state of Veracruz, after relatives reported her missing.

Footage of the meeting between Rosa Isela and the mysterious woman she met near the airport reportedly shows the woman arriving late and looking around nervously while talking to the victim.

Rosa Isela is then said to have got into a vehicle, never to be seen alive again. Two suspects were detained after the authorities launched an investigation.

Newsflash obtained a statement from the Attorney General of the State of Veracruz on Sunday, 4th December, saying: “The State Attorney General’s Office, headed by Veronica Hernandez Giadans, reports that officials of the Ministerial Police arrested Gonzalo “N” and Veronica “N” as alleged perpetrators of the crime of disappearance committed by individuals.”

‘N’ is often used in Mexico to obfuscate a suspect’s full name due to local privacy laws.

The authorities have also reportedly recovered the baby, a girl, alive and well.

The investigation is being headed up by the Special Prosecutor’s Office for the Investigation of Crimes of Violence against the Family, Women, Children and Human Trafficking.

At the time of writing, the two suspects were expected to be brought before a judge to give an initial statement.
