Police in Maricopa, Arizona say that an 18-year-old was prepared to kill her pregnant friend in order to steal her unborn child.
News station KPHO reports that Kassandra Toruga went to the friend's house armed with two butcher knives, a large pair of scissors and a bag full of baby clothes and diapers.
According to the report, Toruga told police she planned to kill her friend, who is nine months pregnant, perform a Cesarean section on her body, take the baby as her own before setting the house on fire.
Toruga had apparently told friends that she was pregnant and her MySpace page even had a profile picture of an ultrasound.
Toruga faces arson, burglary and attempted murder charges and is being held on $500,000 bail.
The victim has reportedly given birth to the baby but remains afraid that Toruga might try to take her again.

These cases are not uncommon. We had a similar case here in Missouri, in which the woman cut the baby from the mother's belly. And, there have been others of it around the country. I just finished an advisory site for teen boys about how females will often go to extremes to get pregnant, even using semen after oral sex, and using a self insemination kit, but people laugh it off that no woman would go to such an extreme to have a baby. Well, tell that to Dr. Richard O. Phillips of Illinois, who was ordered in 2005 to pay child support after only having oral sex with a woman. If a woman is willing to kill a friend to do this, they would be willing to do anything.

Agreed. What a mental disorder these people have to go to such extremes as murder just to have a child. My God, people are mental, and I'm sure that somewhere down the line in the future Toruga, would endup like a Susan Smith, and go to extremes to get rid of children. I know that's unfair, but it's my OPINION only.

This story is poorly written. It doesn't tell very much. Did she actuall do something or did she just plan it? How did they find out about it? One can assume since 18 yrs old are involved the prep told someone and the police stopped it before anything occurred.
