Embrace your wonderful new gun-free world I guess, because it's here, Brits. This poor woman is dead, her 8 month old fetus was delivered and is in critical condition.
Wow.
A WOMAN who was eight months pregnant has been stabbed to death at an address in south London and her baby is critically ill in hospital.
Neighbours in the area spoke of their shock and horror to learn of the death.
A neighbour has since paid tribute to the victim, describing her as "just a nice girl".
Despite living in close proximity to the scene of the murder and being awake at the time of the woman's death, she said she did not hear or see any signs of an attack taking place.
She added: "I came back home between 1am and 2am. I was even talking on the phone in the back yard."
Forensics teams were still investigating the scene of the murder in Raymead Avenue on Sunday as the force confirmed a second arrest had been made.
Reacting to the murder on Twitter, London mayor Sadiq Khan said: "Violence against women is endemic in society and devastating murders in the home, like this one, show the scale of the problem we face.
"My prayers are with this innocent child, and with the mother it has so tragically lost."
Neighbours said that three women, one of whom was pregnant, lived at the house and they had a small dog.
One neighbour said she had got up at about 3.30am to do her prayers when she heard a dog barking at the house, which is two doors down.
Declining to be named, said she she was "shocked and surprised" to hear about the attack.
A 37-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been released pending further investigations. A second man, aged 29, is now in custody.
In an updated statement this morning, a Scotland Yard statement said: "Detectives investigating the murder of a pregnant woman in Croydon have made a second arrest and have named the victim as Kelly Mary Fauvrelle.
"A 29-year-old man was arrested on Saturday, June 29 on suspicion of murder. He was taken to a south London police station where he remains at this time.
Specialist investigators could be seen swabbing surfaces in an alleyway running along the side of the house while police officers guarded a cordon at the front of the property.
