Pregnant bride-to-be stabbed to death a day before her wedding

A woman who was eight months pregnant has been found stabbed to death in her apartment on the day before her wedding, US police say.

Vindalee Smith, 38, was found on the floor of her apartment in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York with a gaping wound in her neck on Saturday. It was not clear how long she had been dead before the body was discovered by her landlord. Her unborn child did not survive.

I can’t even begin to imagine who would want to do that. It would be the devil, to kill a woman with a child in her stomach. They killed two people

There was no sign of forced entry, and no weapon was recovered, police said. Investigators are looking for a possible suspect. They interviewed her friends and family, and spoke to her fiance.

“I can’t even begin to imagine who would want to do that,” her friend, Sybil Samuel, told local newspapers. “It would be the devil, to kill a woman with a child in her stomach. They killed two people.”

Smith had four children in their teens and 20s, friends said. A baby shower had been planned for Saturday evening, followed by a small wedding on Sunday. Friends told reporters that Smith had met her fiance about a year ago.

Smith was a devout Seventh-Day Adventist and attended New Dimension Church, where she was supposed to get married. Congregation members were concerned when she didn’t show up for morning service.

“She was always on time – always the first person at church,” Tyler Harrigan told the New York Daily News. “When the news came to the church, the whole church broke down. We started to bawl. All the children were crying.”

A crowd of mourners gathered outside Smith’s home, praying and weeping, and singing hymns. The church pastor, Reverend Ferron Francis, told the Daily News that Smith had once feuded with a former neighbour who threatened to kill her, but it was months ago and the trouble had stopped when she moved to the new apartment.

Some friends said that Smith once worked for a home health care agency, but may have been recently unemployed.

An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday.

How My Daughter Seduced Me To Have Sex With Her – John Awah

“I became attracted to my daughter, when I saw her. And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
