A pregnant Indian-origin woman has been killed after an arrow pierced through her abdomen in a crossbow attack in London. Devi Unmathallegadoo’s unborn baby survived after an emergency Caesarean section. The baby is fighting for his life in the hospital following the attack on Monday evening in Ilford area of east London.
On Tuesday, Scotland Yard officers charged Ramanodge Unmathallegadoo, 50, with the murder of a 35-year-old woman, believed to be his former partner.
“The victim was found suffering an abdominal injury. She was taken to hospital where she later died,” the Metropolitan Police said.
“This is a tragic incident and our sympathies are with the loved ones and friends of the victim,” police said.
Devi Unmathallegadoo was known locally as Sana Muhammad after reportedly converting to Islam when she married her husband Imtiaz Muhammad around seven years ago.
She had three children, aged 18, 14 and 12, with her former partner and two young girls, aged five and two, with Muhammad. The baby boy who was born as a result of an emergency Caesarean operation on Monday has been named Ibrahim by his father.
