Le bébé arraché du ventre de sa mère a été retrouvé vivant

Darlene Haynes, 23 ans, a été retrouvée assassinée dans un placard de son appartement, Massachusetts. La pire partie de l'histoire est que son ventre a été coupé et que son bébé pas encore né, a été arraché de son utérus.

Le bébé, une fille, a été retrouvé, en "assez bonne santé" et Julie Corey, la femme qui était en possession de l'enfant a été arrêtée. Julie Corey avait annoncé quelques jours plus tôt à son entourage qu'elle venait de donner naissance à un bébé, mettant certains de ses amis dans le doute.

Darlene Haynes avait aussi trois autres jeunes enfants.

Un crime de ce genre n'est pas unique. Le mois dernier seulement, Korena Elaine Roberts, 27 ans, a été accusée dans l'Oregon, d'un crime similaire, d'avoir tué Heather Megan Snively, 21 ans, en ouvrant son ventre afin de prendre son bébé. Dans ce cas, le bébé n'a pas survécu.

Un autre cas similaire est arrivé à Pittsburgh, il y a un an.

Pour le moment, nous ne connaissons pas la motivation de l'horrible assassinat de Darlene Haynes, mais dans les deux autres cas, la cause semble être le désir intense irrationnel d'une femme d'avoir un enfant. Peut-être la même motivation qui mène aux enlèvements de bébés, mais augmenté jusqu'à un degré démentiel.

Cette histoire nous rappelle aussi une autre histoire qui s'est passée en 2006, dans un pays plus lointain, le Pérou. L'histoire d'une jeune péruvienne de 18 ans, Claudina Herrera, trouvée assassinée avec le ventre ouvert et le bébé disparu. Dans ce cas, la motivation était l'argent et les meurtriers étaient les intermédiaires, mais la cause source est encore le désir intense irrationnel (ou naturel) d'une femme (d'un homme) d'avoir un enfant.
