Two men have been arrested after a pregnant woman was stabbed and killed in London.

The 26-year-old woman, who was eight months pregnant, died from her injuries early Saturday morning, June 29. Her unborn baby was delivered at the scene in Croydon, south London. The infant was taken to hospital and remains in critical condition. The victim has been named as Kelly Mary Fauvrelle. Metropolitan Police have confirmed that a 37-year-old man and a 29-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of murder. Detective Chief Inspector Mick Norman said that the investigation remains ongoing. "This is a horrific incident in which a young mother has lost her life and her child is critically ill," he said. "Our sympathies go out to her devastated family; they are being supported by specially trained officers following this awful event, and I would ask that they are left alone at this time as they come to terms with the enormity of what has happened. "A large crime scene is in place, and is likely to be in place for some time." Police have asked residents or anyone with any information about the crime to contact Metropolitan Police.
